Garage sale
planning
starts
The garage sale committee of
the Blyth United Church met on
February 19 at the home of Lorna
Fraser. The co -chairwomen for this
year are Lorna Fraser and Bonnie
Shannon.
Our 1 lth annual garage sale is
Saturday, May 10 from 10 a.m. to
12:30 p.m. There will be a lunch
booth available. One major change
this year is there will be no auction
and the time has been changed.
Other changes will be discussed at
the next meeting. They are hoping
to get a few new members on the
committee.
Remember to set aside anything
that can be used in the garage sale,
also there has been enough
interest shown to collect rags again
this year. Anyone having cloth
articles suitable for rags please
leave at Lorna's Bulk Food Store or
the Blyth United Church narthex.
