who goes in your moment so ok so let's get started on telling you all about the garage sale it's going to be on thursday and friday it's going to be nine o'clock to six o'clock extra day you know how much we've grown right we come out of a brian hall into all of the classrooms that's what i hear we need more time to sell all of the items that we have so we thought about it we thought well we'll try an extra day and see if we can sell some more things that benefit st benedict benedict the average church right so that's the reason why but it is a change so we have to let everybody know that's why this is so important right we let them know you gals do such a fantastic job and they're really i mean all of you work the man also the hill and everything and it's a great thing where you all get together and do things together for main cause and you help so many people i think that's the best thing we could have had was to have you guys organize this garage sale where you know excuse me you know that there are a lot of people that work and they can't really come in and help at the actual setting up and everything but those people donate items so it is it is a whole church community in action a nice level parking lot it's handicapped assessable which is great and so we invite we we invite all of our friends and neighbors to come it's very easy to get to it's right here in the middle of our our community and we hope we have good weather and we hope lots of people will come in and look at all of our wonderful wonderful and so really they're here and we're great yeah and some of the things that are contribut really really nice and some new things you know how fierce kids grow so we get a lot of new things and you know how some of the guys get ties and socks and things like that that they don't like or want so we benefit by anything that comes along as a donation and then we also hear them use clothing and things but we are very careful about what we take we have with our home it's so nice and big and we have classrooms that were used in this year and last year we use which makes it nice because we can display so much better i love the way those things so that yeah i mean still having the sign on the table good get bumped all the time whenever you him hanging from the ceiling right with does it helps everybody a lot and now is really just said we have classrooms we have like a christmas room or we have a children's toy room but that's something new we try every year to do something a little bit different move it different to me but stay the same is far is is what we're collecting christmas children's all of these different things you know but year room is just one year old yeah and the christmas room just is bulging i mean we have everything you can possibly think of old in new you know and i was telling my granddaughter about the shoe good convenient for everybody right and we start working on the twentieth and we're there every day from eight o'clock until well i'm not going to say how late but we're supposed to close at seven but we're there you know to keep on working and sorting and pricing and all that sort of thing but is rita said we do need lots of volunteers and we do get from the men and we get some young adults you know it's good because some of us are getting an older and our legs are getting just a little tired or so we need some help and we need some help but it's for st benedict and i think we have over three thousand families in our in our church so you can understand when we say we need help of all kinds it's right there it's right there you know and they're always willing to help you know which is good there are always willing to help yes yes they're good folks that's great ok you know is there more than one organization that sponsors this or is it just the women's the women  have our volunteers and we do have men coming to help us each year i think we get a few more men that will come and help us which isn't right and bends man then say how many small garage sale has grown into a huge huge garage sale and every year they laugh at me and say i have to pray because where are we going to get anything to sell every year like this and they tell me to quit that because we get so much stuff we're out the doors now and we don't have any more room we're just we're we've got so much stuff but it is you know it's remarkable where does it all come from so we've decided that it's all out grow right or size down their homes on their move and we've got a fit by you know garden tools and and regular tools and appliances small appliances and i want to tell you and really knows this too because she works a lot in the clothes we have outfitted so many college kids going away to the legal right to finitely i mean we have the linens right and linens her and another thing that we have we have a lot of luggage and here's the literally a lot of parents don't want their kid owes their young adults to take their good luggage off the set so here you can come up and pick up a nice couple  send off some of our our young young adults because we have mugs and we have everything that they could possibly want in their room and yet they're not taking anything that if it gets destroyed  know so ok all right and you know so this is this is another area that we have seen grow over the sixteen years you know we weren't this big when we started out  and they can for cheap price they like their own if they never see it again it's ok it's ok have it lost but you know a few dollars but that's the whole idea that's the whole idea we check everything that comes in every electronic thing that comes in it gets checked we try very hard to make sure that our clothing in everything is neat clean and wearable you know and that's the reputation that we've built over the years and as i said we didn't start out like this but now we've grown to six or so we're so large and we have so many items that when i say one stop shopping i mean that we have everything from christmas thanksgiving halloween easter i mean almost you know anything you have all day we have there the funny part is and really knows this each year we laugh because when you're we might get five vacuum cleaners for the next year parents like that we don't we don't get any you don't get any you know i mean so i hear and say well we're going to have  we stand there and we will take what we're given and make the best of it that's how that's how we do well that's your only way to do it i think so you can't be selective because you don't know unaided tomorrow's place even if you are selected you would know whether a person would husband we have to keep this for the garage sale we cannot get rid of these things so it has to be for the garage sale so i'm searching around for a woman that same benedi that would let me use their garage and i found one and so i definitely we went and made room in her garage sale for us to put our stuff in so that we could take it to the group on sale which was really good and all that was great that you thought about oh yeah and then another person then whenever she heard about me asked if she could do it yes and that's one of the problems that we have we don't have any place to sit or anything so that's why when we say the garage sale these days because there is no we don't have story and i think everybody kind of understands that we don't have places to put all of this this many many items so we have to wait until the twentieth of august and then they come in and they get shifted to the areas where they're going to be sold you know so that's how that donate something that if maybe you can do it yourself working that you can do something like that and it helps us right it helps us tremendously you know and we're very very grateful for any help that here's something you bet you didn't know nearly half of all cancers can be prevented that's right nearly fifty percent mostly by making small everyday changes in your diet and controlling your weight walking more eating less and eating foods that help you and your family to seriously reduce the risk of cancer and of course by not smoking visit the cancer prevention together we can website and get a free thirty day planner filled with tips recipes stats and more about protecting your family go to prevent  have many volunteers that bring things we have church people that bring things we have neighbors around the neighborhood bring things we have all kinds of donation nations that come from everywhere now some of those items are some of the items we get their appliances we get i'm from the old school but these are pretty ugly things that come in but they're kept for love them and we get all kinds of puzzles and all kinds of children's books plus we have children's clothes but besides children's clothes we have infant clothes in that ng and some things like gates cribs things like that that we can we can sell people are looking for those kinds of things all the time because sometimes grandmas like to have things set up their house and share their house a toy box with some things so that they don't have to drag the kids don't have to drag things all the time so it's nice to h instance we have king size queen size regular size linens we have towels we have so we have rugs we have suitcases records yes all records people come in looking for old evidence records and the thing about it is we have hardback books we have paperback books we have cookbooks in some of those cookbooks go back a very long time and if you're a collector what could us but this is what you will this is where you come to find a real gem you know at a reasonable price at a reasonable reasonable price and then we have knick knacks we have all kinds of things little things you know candle holders we have vases we have all kinds of things for the house  just people go and they say oh i broke mine do you have one like this and try to match us and then you know what we have a jewelry department right oh ceilings bracelets they hang the necklaces on these racks i mean they put a lot of time in display oh definitely they display very well and let's have the that's half the battle oh yes if you can see a look you need them you know it'll be something little church there are little jewelry boxes little eyeglass cases little notions that they have to go with  jewelry that they do and you know what's even we we think it's funny we might have broken jewelry but we have people that make things out of broken oh sure i have ever so artistic and they take those little curls and they'll put them on an ornament or they'll make some kind of a doodad with it and it's absolutely lovely but this is where they get it is from the sales roman jewelry and you think well what do you want with tools are just and everything is fixed so it's workable and we get radios there are so many cameras that people come looking for they collect all cameras and people get prints and paintings and then we get people come in and they're looking for frames empty frames and we have we have a multitude of frames so this is another thing if you go to the store you want to look for something come by and look and see what we have before you spend a lot of money because we do have an outstanding amount of artwork and some mirrors lay ups and they have blo really pretty nice but there's one i same one stop shopping that's what i'm talking about you can get garden oh we forgot to say about plants oh yeah live plants  lots of live plants and a lot of pottery pots that people can put their plants in that they can use which in the end at a reasonable price and that's at our garage sale but we do have our chinese auction that they make baskets nice baskets and we sell for raffle and then it on saturdays we usually have a child come and they will pick a winner pick a winner and then several winners and it depends on how many baskets that we get to make and some of the baskets this so we lean a steeler basket or we make sporting pirates you know whatever whatever we get and some of the people again have been very kind of they do need some new things and some barely other question i have here now you know you've got so much stuff and everything i'm sure you can syllable so what do you do with all the leftovers we do in charities we give to st vincent de paul we give to pro life and west virginia we try to help west virginia and this year of course we all know that west virginia was hit with some terrible flooding yes and the need there is probably one or so that in any other time so we're ready and willing to help out as much as we can in those those areas who really the people who really really need our need and and but that's what we always do this is a domino effect when you look at our garage sale you think ok it's right here in peter's township but the good of this garage sale goes spread of all over me it goes far beyond our community  know so that's why we ask all of our friends and neighbors from peters township and surrounding areas get the word out to come and find something i'm sure you'll find something that you can use either in your house or come yes everyone we have they all come market down on your calendars and plays and the scum will i want to thank you girls very much for all your presentation of this grudge  from here perspective and i think these will and very much for coming and talking about the garage sale which is something all of you should really think about see it's a garage sale thank you
