OUR FIRST GARAGE SALE will be Saturday and Sunday, June 16 and 17. Time to peek into those full closets, storage containers under the beds, and of course, the garage! What’s in those boxes you never unpacked after your last move? Bring your donations (we can assist with heavy things) and go home with that special knick-knack, Dharma book, or sofa bed! We’re emptying the garage at the Dharma Centre, and there will be all kinds of furniture, books, knick-knacks, and surprises we have yet to unearth.

WE’LL BE STARTING AT 8:30 AM and ending whenever a critical mass of things are sold (or not!). Whatever is not sold will be distributed to outlets such as Goodwill and Salvation Army unless you specially let us know that you want to pick up if unsold at the end of the day.  If it’s more convenient for you to drop items off that you wish to donate for sale on Friday, the 15th, just contact Diana at (518) 423-8272 for that or any other questions you may have.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED to empty the garage, arrange items on the driveway, help you with unloading items to donate, or loading your purchases into vehicles. We’ll also need volunteer help sorting, pricing, and displaying smaller items on tables, and a couple volunteers with trucks to take things away at the end of the sale.  And a few days before the sale, we can use help making some posters to put up in the immediate area.

SATURDAY MEDITATION on the 16th  will be at 10 AM as usual. Meditation will be followed by our ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING, at which we will nominate and vote in a new Board for the Manjushri Dharma Center.

You too can breathe a sigh of relief, saying the magic words, I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT ALL THAT STUFF!
