Yard Sale Wrap-Up I want to thank ALL the members who put in their time, muscle, gently used items and salespersonship to help make the yard-sale a success. We were up against the largest number of competitive activities (AND giant church yard sales) that have been held all year. Although we started out slow, we picked up speed and, due to the gigantic amount of items we were able to scrounge-up, we came out over $700 in profit. (Hey, if you haven't paid for your finds, we'll be happy to accept your check at the next meeting!) Members supplied shoppers with the inspiration to BUY BUY BUY, and we picked up the names and addresses of four prospective new members! Of course, the first people to get to the Friday night set-up, was our long lost Botswana travelers, Polly and Bruce Hargreaves, and their son, John. Of course, they were also our first customers! Thank you to all who contributed and also, BOUGHT all our wonderful items! (I still can't believe Linda found all that wonderful YARN! RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE!) We saved all the 'good-junk' to run a small sale in June, when the Skillin's get rid of some furniture. It will be a one-day event, so keep that in mind, if you find something you may have over-looked this sale. Again, I had a terrific time, and you are all the BEST! | |
