 We will be holding a yard sale on Saturday, August 23rd with all proceeds to benefit Ethiopian adoption.  If you are in the Richmond area, please come out to our Woodland Heights home and support us by browsing our stuff.  We have lots of great items, some even brand new, and some greta stuff others have donated to be sold at the sale.  If you cannot make the sale, or live outside of the area, we can use any contributions to the sale.  Any gently used items, clothing, electronics, housewares, cds, dvds, etc. would be greatly appreciated.  If you live outside of the area and would like to send items please contact us at courtney2514@yahoo.com for our mailing address.
