New Info for Yard Sale Item Drop Off!
The Emerald Club now has a storage trailer so you can drop off any items there.  If someone is in the Club, you can let them know and if not (if they are not open) you can leave the items outside the storage container if it is locked and they will check periodically to load items.   Date of event is Saturday, January 17th. Several of you have asked about clothing donations and yes they will have a table for good used clothing.
