Whew! We survived another one. The 2018 Fall Community Garage Sale is in the books. Money was raised for the Community Service Club scholarship fund and community projects. Delicious baked goods were baked and sold and enjoyed. Treasures and necessities were purchased. It was a great day. Thanks so very much to all who donated items to the sale and to those who shopped, came to the bag sale, supported the club and made this another successful sale. I really can’t say enough about the club members and officers who worked so hard during some of the hottest summer days ever to sort the garage sale donations and prepare them for the sale and then worked hours on end the days just before the sale to set up, price and ready the sale. They baked homemade goodies and donated those to the bake sale. They arrived early to man the sale and most had been on their feet for several days straight when the sale started. And do not think they were through when the sale was over. They had to bag the leftover items for donation to charity, clean up the sale and take down signs and fixtures, store the supplies and clean the pavilion after the sale. Service Club members, their spouses and family and some special volunteers give their time and go the second mile to work this event twice each year. And it is hard work! They do it cheerfully and with one purpose in mind, they want to serve POC. This is a group committed to making a difference.
Believe it or not, they are planning to do it all over again in April. So, if cooler weather has you cleaning out the closets or your storage and you find quality used goods you would like to donate to the next sale, please give us a call. We will help you arrange a time to drop them off for safekeeping until then. Contact Donna Vuichard at 361-237-0476 for assistance.
Whether you are a newcomer to POC or a salty old timer you have likely heard about the Service Club Senior Christmas Luncheon. This special event is the club’s gift to the seniors in our community.
