Good Morning,

It's time for a monster of a Garage Sale.  We are clearing out our clothing and shoe inventory on Sat. with a huge sale open to the public.  Please join us at the fair grounds for this blowout event.  All adult clothing will be $1.00, kids clothing .50 and shoes for a $1.00.  Breakfast burritos and a hotdog lunch will also be available for purchase.  Some of you are asking why we are doing this, there are a couple of reasons.  First, the building at the fair grounds is open to the elements and this is not conducive for keeping clothing clean and dry long term.  The other reason is we just plain have too much stuff!  By doing the garage sale and earmarking the money for future hurricane relief we are benefiting the community by offering clothing at low prices but also keeping with the spirit in which the donation was given--which is hurricane relief.  Clothing is available from Good Will for those displaced by the hurricane.  At this point Good Will is offering 5 outfits per person at no charge for any evacuees.  Please tell your friends, neighbors and family about the sale, there are many wonderful bargains to be had.

On the donation front, PLEASE HOLD ALL DONATIONS OTHER THAN GROCERIES AND PERSONAL CARE ITEMS until after we are moved.  This should happen early next week if we can secure a building.  We will continue to operate the store by partnering with several churches to ensure that the needs of those who have relocated are met.  Additional furniture, appliances, housewares etc will be needed but we would like to get moved and settled before we accept any more items.  THANK YOU for your continued generosity.  I'm not sure if there is another city across America who has pulled together to form such a well stocked "super store" without a cash register.  You have been a blessing to each and everyone of the evacuees who have walked through the door of the store. 

I had better get to work, the sorting must be finished, the organizing must go on and most importantly the families must be able to shop!  Just a side note, if you know of any individuals who have relocated to Pueblo please direct them to the store.  If they have not registered with Posada please call 545-8776, this will ensure that those who are our newest Pueblo residents have gone through all the proper channels to receive the aid and assistance they need.  Thanks for checking in.
