This month we collected about 5 more donations. It was a very big challenge when contacting all the contributors and attempting to find a time when we could all meet and haul the donations. Another new challenge is finding room for the increasing donations, but we are packing things away in an organized way. We are very happy with the results and we are gathering a lot of unique and profitable items. Yesterday, we filled the truck with everything from furniture to clothing from 3 different donations. My neighbor, who is helping his church with a yard sale they are putting on, said that next week after the last day of their sale, my group could come by and take all the leftovers and use them for our sale. I then called one of my dad's friends and asked him if we could use his trailer and he gladly said yes. So next week sometime we are going to go to that yard sale and get a whole bunch of great things for our rummage sale! Shannon Freed, the events director at Roice Hurst, has also been keeping in touch with me to help get the word out about the sale. She has been a great help. We have run into a bit of a storing problem as all three of our houses (mine, Abby's, and Karen's) are almost full, however we decided to just start making room since it is less than a month before the sale.
