Help Needed with Fundraising Yard Sale

The Playground project (details here) is moving forward after a successful carwash last Saturday, thanks to God’s good grace and the help of many volunteers.

The next fundraiser is a  yard sale, April 18.  We need lots of help for this one to be a success.  There are three major ways you can play a role: 1) donate items for sale, 2) come to the yard sale and shop generously, 3) volunteer to help execute the yard sale.  We need your help in any of these three areas.  Keep reading for details…
