The Pot of Gold officially opened for business on November 1, 2001, to serve the residents and staff of CLSH, Clifton, and the surrounding communities.

It is staffed by members of the Sunset Auxiliary, which is a dedicated volunteer organization of Clifton Lutheran Sunset Home. The Sunset Auxiliary serves in a number of ways, but the Pot Of Gold is the first effort of the membership even pre-dating the actual official organization of the auxiliary.

Volunteers are needed to assist in sorting, pricing and displaying items and also to assist CLSH residents to shop and getting them to and from their rooms. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact volunteer@sunsetaux.org or call 675-3026.

Things
by Amos R. Wells
(Thanks to Marsha Brown for sharing this with us.)
Things, things, things
On the tables, on the floor,
Tucked away behind the door,
On the shelves and on the chairs,
Dangerously on the stairs,
Bureaus crammed and closets filled,
Boxes packed and boxes spilled,
Bundles everywhere you go,
Heaps and piles and overflow
Of things, things, things.
Things of value, worthless trash,
Things preserved or gone to smash,
Ancient things or things just bought,
Common things and things far-sought,
Things you mean to throw away,
Things you  hope to use someday,
Cellar, attic all between,
An exasperating scene
Of things, things, things.		 Things that take our precious time,
Hold us from the life sublime,
Things that only gather dust,
Things that rot, and things that rust,
Things that mold and things that freeze,
Things that harbor foul disease,
Things that mock us and defy,
Until at last we grimly die
Of things, things, things.
Let me cease to be their fool,
Let me fly their crafty rule,
Let me with unsparing knife,
Cut their canker from my life,
Broad and clear and all serene,
Let me make my mansion clean,
Now and evermore to be calm, unfettered,
Gladly free
From things, things, things.
