As many of you have participated in the semi-annual fundraiser ULC Patio Sales in the past, you know this year we had to avoid unnecessary contact with strangers and cancel the Patio Sales. However, we had one particular donor with a storage unit full of good stuff! This donor also had a location that was available to spread out the goodies and invite donors and donations. With the help of a few friends and some able bodies to move boxes and do a little “marketing” of the goods, we recently had a hugely successful event!
We had a photographer who also set up a Facebook event and posted regarding the event. There was much merriment and bargaining going on with the result of raising a total of $925 which is slated for the youth interested in attending the ELCA Youth Gathering. Normally this gathering occurs every 3 years in a different major city. 2021 was supposed to occur in Minneapolis, however, it is unsure if that will be rescheduled. We are ultimately so grateful for the donor of goods, the donations we received and all of the helpers that made this another fun and successful fundraiser for our youth!
