Another of the organization's anticipated events is the annual Christmas Garage Sale which wil be held on November 22nd at the Boathouse in Southampton. The group will be accepting donations for the sale on Wednesday, November 19th and Friday, November 21st from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at The Boathouse.

This unique event is one of the most unusual garage sales in that all items are purchased by donation and the only 'priced' items are the baked goods. Another unusual aspect is that the sale is for Christmas decorations only, so for those wanting to re-theme their Christmas decor, it is the ideal venue to donate the 'old' and buy gently-used 'new'.
