Good afternoon,

It's been a while since I've updated--sorry, it's been just a little bit crazy!  The garage sale went well, we raised over $2500.00 for hurricane relief effort.  We still have a ton of clothes left so we will be having another sale on Sat. from 7-4.  We will provide grocery bags and clothing will be sold for $3.00 a bag full.  Tell your friends and neighbors, there are still wonderful bargains to be had!

We just received word that there are approx. 50 people on a bus that is heading to Pueblo.  The Katrina Store is in desperate need of personal care items, cleaning supplies and groceries.  Please take your donation to the Ag Pavilion at the Fair Grounds between 9-5 tues-Sat.  PLEASE DO NOT DROP OFF ANY CLOTHES--We are overflowing with clothing.  We are looking to move possibly this weekend so if you can wait with any other donations please watch this post for a new address to drop off items.  Also, if no one is at the store to receive your items please do not drop them off at the gates, there is no security at the Ag Pavillion and we cannot guarantee that items dropped off will not be stolen.

We can use any and all volunteers.  Just show up at the Fair Grounds and we will put you to work.  We have a lot of sorting to be done from the sale last weekend, we need to get ready for the next sale, prepare to move and handle the everyday items that come up.  We really need more than 3-4 people down there to make sure that the Katrina Store runs smoothly and it's efficient for the evacuees to shop at.  We are seeing a large increase in families that are "shopping"--it's a blessing to be able to help them out.  Thank you for your generosity, YOU made the store possible.

Thanks for checking in--gotta run--work calls! 

Julie
