With everything going on last weekend, and this week, I didn’t get a chance to say kudos to the folks that were working on HPS fundraisers last weekend.
Last weekend our supporters in Oyster Bay, New York were manning a food booth at the Oysterfest. It’s a fundraiser we’ve done for several years now. I was there (with the rest of the board) the first time we did this fundraiser, and I can assure you it’s two days of solid hard, hard work! A big thank you and kudos to the folks that helped out.
Also, on the very same weekend, the DelVecchio family was having their annual garage sale to benefit HPS. Marie says they didn’t make quite as much money as last year, but they didn’t have as much help this year either. The DelVecchio’s have done this fundraiser for many years now. It’s become something of a neighborhood institution. All year long people drop things off at the DelVecchio house for the annual garage sale. That means that all year the DelVecchios have to store all this stuff! Their attic, garage, etc are full of all this stuff all year. This year they made almost $700. Stop and think for a moment about how much stuff you’d have to sell at a dime to a quarter a piece to make that much money! Thank you DelVecchios for all the hard work and for living with all that stuff all year!
