"My wife found a lile milk
stool with a burlap seat that
someone had set out on the
side of the road. We wove a

Energizers Coordinator Don
Franklin said the couple stay
busy and are well known
for giving to the Southern
Energizers auctions that
support local charities.
"They don't let anything slow
them down," said Franklin, who
has known Bobby for years.
"We feel the need to work
hard and give money to these
charities because it's going
to help someone," Lynelle
said. "We really love Project
Lifesavers, and the Energizers
push that a lot. We've got to
keep it going. It's in Bobby's
heart to give – he's a very giving
person."
Wheelbarrows are popular with Auburn fans.
The Roys provide homemade treats for Southern fundraisers.
