The Tag Sale fundraiser was held at the Center on August 9,10, and 11. It raised $805.00. Many items were not sold and another sale was held with the remaining items at Kay Carter’s house in Hampden on September 28. This netted $640.00. Remaining items were given to Goodwill Industries. Special thanks go to all those who donated items for these sales. The response was excellent. Many people gave hours of their time in the pricing of items, setting up displays, manning the cash box, repackaging items for the 2nd sale and transporting them to the new set up location. Deep appreciation goes out to the following folks:
Katrina Bisheimer Charlotte Holbrook
Daryl and Kay Carter Samantha and Lizzie Le
Christina Diebold Bill and Mary Phillips
Barb Friedman Doug and Mary Poulin
Eric Goodale Mary Ellen Quinn
Mary Harlan Carol Veits
