Fri, Sep 9 2011 - Mustard Seed MEGA HUGE Charity Setup (View Original Event Details)
|  |
Same photo album and write up all days.
I have come to realize that the most precious thing I have seen this weekend is the giving of so many sincere and caring volunteers. Their time and effort is truly priceless. Thank you! Special mention must go to those on Sunday. Our ranks were thin and it called for the energy of some real strong, dedicated people. No Sunday pictures due to the hectic day. My deepest and sincere thanks to Sharon for making it in from Golden. Emergency call back duty from Roy and George. Jeff returned in the "late innings" and was truly “The Closer” finding buyers for the biggest items as Sunday drew to a close. I wish I could have gotten a picture of his outlandish get ups and props! Kathleen from “The Seed”, Julie refreshing her COC participation and Dale & Andrew. It was truly scary to run that thin on Sunday.
To borrow from that old rock group Chilliwack,
"if there's no Volunteers,
there just ain't no show!"
Then there are the folks that made life better for the volunteers.
• The major contribution of beautiful merchandise by Donna Ritchie and Brian Lehman Estate Sale Pros. Check them out! http://www.whatsitworthbrian.com/estatesales.html
• Travis at Coco Brooks continues to provide delicious food support every sale. http://www.cocobrooks.com/
• Lynn at COI (Contemporary Office Interiors) provides carpets and more that saves my lawn and patrons feet from permanent damage. http://www.contemporary.ab.ca/about-us.asp
• Thanks to Sunnyside Safeway for again helping feed the volunteers.
• My sister Dolores for bottomless bowls of delicious chilli.
• My neighbours who face traffic jams, cars blocking their driveways ... and their many donations to the sale and ... their buying power!!!!!
• The customers. Many of you were as generous as ever, more than generous! I must admit that I had to ask one man to leave when he felt three dollars was a fair price for a TV. Forgive my digressions / transgressions Lord.
• To everyone else “Thank you”!!!
