A huge thank you to those involved with our Kids’ Clutter sale this fall. We appreciate all sellers, donors, buyers and volunteers who contributed to this successful event. Special thanks to Tanya Del Bianco, our lead organizer, and to Dennyse Harris. Both of these outstanding volunteers put in many hours to make the sale run smoothly.
