You may begin to bring your clean, sellable items to the church, and leave them in the drop-off boxes located near each entrance of the Education Building. Please do not price them, as that will be done here as the sale gets set up. Sheila Wetherell is coordinating the sale this year. Please contact Sheila if you have any questions or would like to help out.

If you know how to knit or crochet, or would like to learn, come join us. Supplies will be provided. For more information, contact Nancy Colwell, Pam Wessel or Linda Braden.
