Help Is Needed This Morning to bring down clothing racks and
clothing from upstairs Burton Hall for the Thrifty Threads Sale. There are several
clothing racks in the Thrifty Threads room that are filled with clothing and two
round racks in the big room. The clothing will need to be removed from the racks
and brought down separately. There is also clothing in the big room that has been
sorted and put in piles. This clothing can be brought down and laid on the tables.
Thank you for whatever help you can give this morning. Any clothing left upstairs
can be taken care of later in the week.
