Garage Sale Success

Rebecca's back yard before the sale
Members did a terrific job in finding things in their homes and from friends to completely fill the backyard at Rebecca's.  The night before the sale we had a surprise rain shower and Rebecca ran out to cover the items with drop cloths and tarps.
Our main entrance with flags

  While we were setting up on Saturday, some early shoppers came by to check out the bargains and at 9am we were in full swing with a driveway full of buyers.  More showers came and the tarps went back over everything again, but some hardy customers lifted each tarp looking for their items.  
Our happy cashiers

Fortunately, our cashiers were well protected under the tent where we sold bottled water and Mexican Coca Cola. At the end of the day approximately half the volume of goods had been sold.  The rest will be donated to a charity that will pick up everything.  Our supply of men's suits will go to the Salvation Army's "Dress for Success" program that provides free clothing for clients having interviews.
