With the resignation of Biddie Hileman as Garage Sale Chairman, a new chairman was needed to fill that position. Although it will be extremely difficult to replace Biddie; she had served as Chairman for a number of years, and her diligence and attention to all details was without par. However, Lydia Strakos has offered to fill that position with the assistance of several members whom she has selected.

An interesting side note re the Garage Sale: Our President, Janet Johnson mentioned that the fund raising by the members of the early Service Club was achieved by the making and selling of fried pies to members of this community. And both Charter members Nancy Childers and Shirley Gordon reminisced about this activity which was done in the small room in the Fire Station. Janet further said that as the members became a little tired of the preparation of the many varieties of fried pies, a new money maker was needed to support the Club’s many projects and she recommended having a Garage Sale, which has been functioning for several years.
