Yard Sale Outdoes Itself

lcounts — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 19:45:58 +0000

Huge shouts out to Heather Grillmeyer and Nicole Aruda for their above-and-beyond organizing of the yard sale last Saturday! The sale required a huge amount of logistical planning before, during, and after. They pulled it off, bringing in a record $5,000 for Peralta programs. So let them know how much you appreciate their efforts (especially since they’ve agreed to do it for one more year!).

The annual sale is a joint effort of the Lower Rockridge Parents Group and the Peralta Parent Teacher Group. Thanks to all who donated, and the dozens of volunteers who helped the day run smoothly. And thanks to all the bakers, as well as bakesale organizers Cinthia Andrus and Kellene Kaiser, for the sweet treats.
