Last year we had our first garage sale and it was fun! This year we have secured the parking lot behind Sears in Frandor. Big thank you to the Gillespie group for making this happen and waiving the fees to use the lot. As of today, the application has been submitted and we are starting to plan the event. After Monday’s meeting I would like to take a few minutes to discuss moving forward, costs, fundraising and advertising. If you would like to be a part of this project please feel free to hang around after the meeting. See you soon!
