Ray and Fay Christy need help to close in their shed before winter.
We will have a cookout at Noon and feed all the helpers – bring the kids – food is on us. Also, we have a load of stuff in our garage (due to our neighbors moving and giving us things they didn’t want to haul), so we are offering to let our helpers pick stuff they’d like or need from our garage stuff – for free (like a yard sale without the sale) and that will also help us clean out the garage for the winter! So bring hammers, tools, etc., and come bring the family for great fellowship, and be fed, and take some cool stuff home! Thank you for your help! Call if you can come: 633-9872 Ray & Fay
