Garage Sale 2005
2005 Garage Sale: $1,567.23 Raised for KTC!
Thankyou for the donations, the sorting & pricing help, the advertising & sign making/putting up, the extra tables & clothing racks, the set up & sales help, and the clean up & recycle help.
It’s a long list of people who contributed significantly in the above mentioned ways to this year’s garage sale success. We would be bound to leave someone out if we try to name everyone, but we need to send a very special thank you to Carolyn Peterson who stepped in and managed the whole thing. All the work was spread over time without any ten hour days or late nights. No strained muscles from one person lifting too many boxes. No last minute rushing to get things done. Amazing! Thank you, Carolyn!
The quality of the donations this year was better than ever before. Lots of really nice things were donated, and we had several return customers who came to see what we had this year. Some people paid us more than we asked and said things like, “Are you sure that’s all this is? It’s for a good cause. Keep the extra.” And more than one person told us they were disappointed that we didn’t have more things than we did.
We want to say to eveyone reading this that we are happy in our Sangha’s heart to be able to raise the money that it takes to bring the Kagyu Lineage with its extraordinary methods, in the exact same form that they were practiced in Tibet, to Minnesota for the benefit of all sentient beings.Thank you again to everyone who contributed to this year’s effort. We are now accepting donations for our Garage Sale 2006.
