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. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1986. PAGE 3.
