TS Items and Volunteers Needed for Touchstone Garage Sale This Saturday, Feb. 25

[touchst at cy-net.net]

The Touchstone Garage Sale is this coming Saturday, Feb. 25 8-noon at 
the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 305 Wellborn Rd. in College 
Station.  We need donated items and volunteers to help out.  We will 
be accepting donations of items from 4 PM until 9 PM or so (maybe 
later if we know things will be still coming in) at the UU Fellowship 
of Friday, Feb. 24.  We need volunteers to help with sorting, 
cleaning, and pricing on Friday, Saturday at the sale starting at 7 
AM, and for clean-up afterwards. Even a time donation of an hour or 
so helps us. Trucks/large cars are needed to haul items on Friday and 
Saturday after the sale (all donated items that are not sold are 
given to charity after the sale).  For more information, see copies 
of previous emails on the sale below or call Danny Yeager at 777-8758 
or email touchst at cy-net.net.
