The first official fundraising day was awesome! We made $1022.96. Neither of us know how the six cents came to be, as we did have things for a nickel, but nothing for a penny.
My mom, dad and Uncle Elmer came for about half the day. I loved that they could be here to see people support the cause closest to our hearts.
My favorite story of the day:
A married couple were compiling the stuff they wants to buy. The items ranged from a 75 cent Tupperware container to a $5.00 Galilean Thermometer. It was a rather large pile of various items. I totaled it up for them and told them it was $27.50. The wife asked "Can you do better?" I said "It is all for charity. All of the money will go to The Alzheimer's Association." She didn't miss a beat and said "We will give you $30.00."
How awesome is that?
Second day of the yard sale will be shortened due to the sever weather we will be getting this afternoon. We will clean up, store everything and then spend the next month or so getting more donations from friends and have a second one in July or early August.
