Yard Sale – set for June 13 and 14 at St. Andrew’s
The treasures stored in St. Andrew's basement have been removed from boxes. We now need people to review what is there and to save from the upcoming yard sale those items that must be kept! Boxes and markers have been placed just inside the bottom of the steps at the basement door from the front yard of St. Andrew. Please make time to visit the St. Andrew's basement between now and Thursday, 5/22/2014. The door from the front yard (on the right of the building as you face it) is always unlocked. Please leave it as you find it. If you see something that needs to be kept, put the item in a box, put your name on the box (you are responsible for finding a permanent home for the item), or take the item with you. There are also sticky-notes that can be attached to items. Items without a keeper name will be sold.
Note: The yellow dishes (Bucks County pottery) have been collected and removed by Joan & Ted Bromage, (thank you!) who now ask if you are or know of, a person who could sell them on eBay. The several hundred pounds of dishware have a resale value (Replacements Ltd.) of over $1,000. Please help move them along!
