Free Yard "Sale"

The Free Yard “Sale“ that we held on Saturday October 19th from 2:00 to 3:30 pm was a great success! It was a beautiful sunny day and we had a great turnout of both members and non-members of the SSTB. Many items found a new home and the ones leftover were taken to The Pennyworth Shop, the Adventist Community Services of Greater Washington (ACSGW), the Friends of the Library, Montgomery County: Wheaton Bookstore and The Humane Rescue Alliance. Thanks to Kathy Jentz, the whole event team and all the volunteers who helped at this swap! Here are some opinions and pictures from our swap participants:

"I'm happy to find these Legos. They're for my three-year-old. His cousin has Legos, and now he does too."

"I like this. You give a couple of things, and you get a couple of things. And everyone's happy."

"I took away more than I should have."

"I was looking for storage to help my ten-year-old keep his room organized. I was glad to find this basket."

"I have cat lovers and dog lovers back home where I used to live. I'm going to send them these cards I found today. I'll send a batch to the dog lovers and a batch to the cat lovers. I'm a guinea pig lover myself."

"There's a woman here who collects sun faces. She brought this nice one, and I'm going to grab it. I create websites, and I'm doing one for a solar company. I'm going to use pictures of sun faces as buttons on the site."

"I'm saving these dishes aside for a family who got burned out of their house."

 "I love this plant holder. I wouldn't have known it was hand-made, but Anne said her sister made it for her back in the 70s."

 "Even Lily the dog picked out something to take home! This stuffed reindeer."
