It gives me great pleasure to
convey to everyone the results of the garage sale this past weekend.
Your class netted $1500 dollars which will be going into the class treasury from sales and more $$$ may be coming as the
remaining stuff is being combined with another yard sale for next
weekend on Maple Ave. I am copying and pasting below the lovely note from Sandy
which sums everything up so beautifully! Sandy, maybe you should be
doing the class write ups!..;-) This is also posted on the class Facebook page. A BIG thank you from all of us to Sandy for
organizing this and pulling this off and a BIG thank you to Jim Roy and
his wife Lori for the use of their property and garage to hold our
event in. Needless to say, this is one of the most successful if not the
most successful and well run money raising event ever by this class. I
am personally impressed by the enthusiasm and hard work by everyone who
participated. We probably ought to look at doing one of these every
year! Have a happy Monday everyone! Please read Sandy's note below, she says it beautifully!
CLASS OF '74! I don't even know how to express the gratitude and good feelings I have about the fundraiser this weekend. I am amazed by how we all pulled together and made it a success even when "Mother Nature" did not cooperate. Yes, we raised a good amount of money (tallies in soon), which we will be sending to Charlene to keep in our fund ... takes a lot of pressure off as far as float and class reunion. So many "thank yous" to extend. First, of course, to Jim Roy who hosted the whole show and was there changing cords and moving things around when we were blowing fuses, who went to the store and bought 10+ bags of ice so I could keep my food "happy", and who took time from his 58th birthday today to sell goods and raise money. He is the bomb! And his lovely wife, Lori. She donated a beautiful necklace from Pearce Jewelers and she was there to help in any way she could. She is one of the most lovely women I've ever known, and I am blessed to call her "FRIEND." What a wonderful couple they are. And Melissa, ever steady, tagging all those items and collecting cash ... someone asking me, "What's the price on this?" And me yelling, "Hey, Just ask Melissa!!" Then, of course, Sue MacLaughlin, wiping the floors dry of rain and being the "bean Counter" and doing whatever was needed, she is amazing. Beyond that, thank you so much to the ones who showed up today ... Sue Doody, Christine Currier, Alan Roz, Jim Hanson (and wife, she is lovely), David Messier ... and special mention, Linda (Janelle) Simmons because she is letting us bring all the remainders of the yard sale (and there is still a lot) to her home so that we can set up another yard sale in two weeks on Maple Ave. So we are still not done raising money! Gotta go, am tired, but HAPPY ... thank you, everyone!
