Issue 7:7 THE CACTUS PATCH July 2004

ENCORE YARD SALE WRAP-UP

Many thanks to the members who contributed to the two yard sales this year! We were able to bring our total up to an all time high for our yard sale/fund raiser. Over $700 the first two-day sale, and an additional $530+ for the second, one-day sale. Plants and clothes sold incredibly well. We down-sized quite a lot of clothes, thanks to the organizational skills of Silvia, and the wonderful clothing racks lent to us by Lynn's good friend. Of course, Ed was a real help with the terrific tables from Chevron/ Texaco. This time we had a line of buyers waiting to come in, so we opened a bit early. Matt, Silvia and Jim where terrific helpers, without who we wouldn't be able to have managed the sale. Rob entertained four members from the Fresno club, who also bought our plants for sale! We look forward to seeing more from the Fresno Club, at the October Show and Sale.

Good news, too, we have 11 new names to send newsletters to! It's amazing the amount of Cactus and Succulent people and interest there is out there!

Be sure to ask Mary what she spent money on, she certainly donated some hot items for sale, and her plants sold really well.

Again, THANKS to all for your help and donations! Start saving up your junk for next years sale!
