Well the results are in , the 2nd Annual Try Change Charity Yard Sales was a success!
The weather was great, the turnout was great and the number of items on hand were fantastic! We started at 6am by setting up the tables and wouldn't you know it people began showing up before the start time of 8am. We had hundreds of items on sale and we even attracted a neighbor who decided to bring some of her items to the sales and donate all her proceeds to Volunteers of America as well!
In the end we raised over $400.00 for Volunteers of America and also donated over 200 items to the VOA shelter here in Woodbridge! We want to thank all of the people who took the time to stop by and purchase some items as well as those who just stopped by and made donations to Volunteers of America.
Special thanks goes out to Rose (Chrissie's mom) and David who donated items, set up, manned the tables and broke down the yard sale. Rose & David have an antique business (Delrose) and will be out at the Antique Show at the Dulles Expo Center this coming weekend (July 19th & 20th). We also want to thank our friends Ruth and Martin who took time out of their busy schedule to offer there support, buy items and even assisted opening boxes for us. Ruth and Martin are the owners of Signs by Saenz. They manufacture banners, signs and an array of other items. They produced our Try Change banners for us and they do FANTASTIC work! If you ever have a need for such items they are the company you want to work with, believe me.
We also want to thank my sister Audrey and my nieces and nephews who came out to show their support as well.
It was a great day!
