attic, basement, closet Sale - April 23

Betsy Elkins-Williams and Katherine Dauchert

The largest outreach ministry of the Chapel of the Cross is our annual ABC Sale. Thanks to generous donations of used goods, we have an enormous rummage sale, with last year's net proceeds exceeding $23,000. These proceeds are then donated to charitable causes. Taking part in the ABC Sale gives all of us an opportunity to make a difference in so many people's lives.

If you would like to help, but work full-time and are unavailable during the day, there are some important roles you might consider:

• Donate baked goods for our Bake Sale.
• Collect used items from your neighbors and bring these along with your own donation. Our success is 100% dependent on the volume of our donations.
• Distribute publicity posters at your workplace or other community locations.
• Drop off a snack at the church for workers during sale week.
• Grow bedding plants for the Garden Shop.
• Find a donation for each department; Furniture and Treasures are our most profitable.
• Sign up to work on sale day, Saturday, April 23. We need as many parishioners as possible that day to provide adequate service for the crowds.

Please consider being a part of this event. We need your help to make the ABC Sale a success. Every job counts - everyone has a role!

Send items for inclusion in future "Cross Roads."
The deadline is the first Thursday of the preceeding month.
