We will be accepting donated items from Sunday, September 14th through Wednesday, September 17th. We will not be able to accept large appliances or computers. Also, we will not accept clothing unless it is new because we don’t have enough display space for them. Any items that don’t sell will be donated to the Rescue Mission or the Cancer Society’s Discovery Shop. We can use your help if you have some free time the week of the sale. Any hours you can contribute to helping us sort and price items in the days leading up to the sale would be greatly appreciated. Also, we’ll need lots of help both days of the sale. Our goal is to raise $3,000 for the Kisumu Medical Fund and to help the KSCC bring an exchange student to Roanoke in December for a 3 month internship. The fellowship of this sale is the best blessing of all so I hope you will join us. If you have any questions about the sale, please call me at 797-9886 (cell on during the day) or 725-9886 (home on at night).

Thank you for allowing us to have a reception for Phoebe in the fellowship hall July 26th and thanks to all who attended that evening.
