FOX 4: North Texas Woman Named Champion Auctioneer

A young woman from North Texas talks fast and that speed helps bring in a lot of money. FOX 4’s Shannon Murray sat down with Morgan Hopson to talk about her new championship title, Texas Auctioneers Association (TAA) and her path to success.

In September 2001, the Texas Auctioneers Association selected Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children as its official charity. Since then, TAA members and auctioneers have raised money for the hospital through various auctions around the state.

Hometown Hero: The Sewing Ladies

Hometown Hero: The Sewing Ladies

A specific group of volunteers at Scottish Rite Hospital, who call themselves The Sewing Ladies, have been a staple at the hospital since its earliest years. Originally, the group consisted mostly of wives of the hospital’s doctors. Now, the volunteers come from all different backgrounds but have one thing in common – they love to sew.

Between them, The Sewing Ladies have more than 800 years of sewing experience, and they put that experience to good use. Last year, the group of volunteers created more than 400 bed sheets and more than 500 hospital gowns for the hospital’s young patients.

Clarice Tinsley of FOX 4 recently featured the group in her “Hometown Heroes” segment.
