Another very successful children's consignment sale has come and gone!! Many thanks to everyone who helped--from those who mailed out the packets, manned the phone for sellers, posted the signs, set up and took down, cashiering, tag sorting, room supervising, bagging items ----everyone, no matter how big or how small your job was--you make the sale a success! Items not returned after the sale went to several schools, a Vietnamese family new to our country, Birthright, Monlock House, the Hondurans, Cleveland School and many other deserving places. There is a need for everything somewhere. Donations to the sale are always welcome. Money from these items is all ours. The local VFW Post always donates from their collection-- maternity clothes, girl's, boy's, infant's clothing, shoes and toys. Of all the donations that sold, 95% of them were from the VFW Post and netted for us over $600.00! They always participate and we thank them greatly for their help! The total amount of money for items that were sold was $13,707.94. Money returned to the venders and some expenses totaled $8,692.90, leaving $5,045.04 for the UMW. This money will be used for many mission projects both here and far away. A big thank you goes to Liz and Nancy Owens who put this project together! They always do a wonderful job from start to finish and they hope to see all of you back for another sale in the spring!
