ARLINGTON RIDGE YARD SALE
A huge thank you to Karen Ragne who has graciously offered to organize LCWA's participation in the Arlington Ridge Yard Sale on October 9 and 10.
Karen needs tables as well as gently used items for the sale. If you have items to donate or a table that Karen can borrow, please contact her (352-872-8119) to make arrangements for drop off beginning September 15. Or, bring your items to the September 24 meeting. Karen's address is: 26622 Otter Creek Lane.
When donating items, please make sure that they are in good
condition and are working. Please limit the number of clothing items, which should be clean and spot free.
This is a great fundraiser for LCWA. All proceeds go directly to support the work of the Children's Advocacy Center. Help make this fundraiser a great success. Donate your items today!
