We want to thank all the parishioners who donated to Granny’s Attic this year. Thanks to all the donations received we brought in $11,692.30 Again this year we received many valuable treasurers, which were specially priced. We are happy to say that the asking price was paid for most of these items. A huge THANK YOU to RICK, CAROLE & LINA WAGNER for the use of Wagner’s Sales Show Room. It was nice for the third year, to have a secure, dry location for Granny’s Attic. Special thanks to all the dedicated volunteers who come back year after year to help sort, organize and clean up, and to the new volunteers who just joined us this year. The Cub Scouts / Boy Scouts and their parents also were very helpful in receiving the donations, carrying items for customers and in the clean up process following the sale. Without all the donations and volunteer hours given to Granny’s Attic we would not have been so successful. The committee still needs more volunteers, please consider helping next year. It is a large task for a handful of volunteers. Thanks again for supporting the 2012 Granny’s Attic whether you donated, volunteered or purchased items. Jane Stevenson and Stephanie McIntyre, Co-Chairs of Granny’s Attic 2012

You may email comments to Wendy Buda ([email protected]) or drop your comments into The Comment Box in the vestibule of the church. Future activities of the Adult Education Committee are being planned and new members are cordially invited to share their ideas. For more information, call Betty Bible at 860-651-3175.
