ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YARD SALE
​Thank you to all who were involved with our annual yard sale…donors, bakers, table-getters, set-up crew, sellers, buyers, and over-night security. A special thank you to those who helped pack and clean up. The income from the raffle was $4,648 and from the yard sale was $2,282 (including approximately $725 from the bake table) for a total of $7,655. This is only about $500 short of last year and was made possible through the donation of all prizes by thoughtful parishioners (as detailed on the prize list). We will use these funds to offset the costs of September’s driveway repair.

1st Prize – Toronto Argonauts vs Hamilton Tiger-Cats ($600 value) — Jan Young

2nd Prize – Blue Jays vs Cardinals ($300 value) — Peter Dawson, Peterborough
