This year’s annual Woman’s Society Yard Sale raised a record total of $1,789.75. Customers and sales volunteers alike were pleased with the new pricing system for Jumble items. Customers were invited to offer an amount they thought their choices were worth rather than all items being priced. Only the more obviously “priceable” items received a price tag.
Syretha Brooks’ energetic and warm sales style was missed in the kitchen this year. The food was still as delicious as ever but I, for one, missed Syretha bringing trays out to the parking lot to entice us inside.
There were books galore, clothing to dress countless families, the beginnings for many a craft project and plants to “seed” many gardens.
The money raised was placed in Woman’s Society reserves to fund local, regional, national and international programs that the Woman’s Society sees helping to make a difference in the world.
