May is our busiest month of the year, and this year's May was no exception. Our Geranium Sale was a huge success! We sold 128 DOZEN gorgeous plants. Thank you to the Village of Camillus for letting us use the Village Hall for pick up day on May 14. The weather was perfect, and it was also the day of the Mile Long Garage Sale in the village. What a fun day.
Two weeks later was the Memorial Day Parade in the village. It was an extra special event because it was a reunion year for the West Genesee Wildcat Alumni, and the 50th anniversary of the marching band.
The Friends set up camp out in front of the library with an array of items to give away to parade goers. We passed out 60 helium balloons, 90 patriotic pinwheels, 140 flags, and 3 cases of bottled water. All free, but we really appreciated your donations. Next year, we won't run out of water!
Saturday, June 4 was our Annual Garage Sale in Orchard Village. We started getting ready as soon as the parade was over. This year, we collected donated new children's books to give away to kids who came to the sale. It was a huge hit with the parents, as well as with the little ones. We sold a record number of treasures, but the Royal typewriter didn't find a new home.
Alas, we've come to the decision that this was our last garage sale, unless we can find someone else to take it over.
We've been fortunate to have it at the same home for 14 years.
