Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop
By Ruthi True
Things I
Heard Folks Say This Week
1) “OMG that could not be more perfect.”
2) “Totally loving this
outfit.”
3) “It’s only a dollar - wow you’re serious.”
4)
“That’s the perfect color blue.
5) Hey I’ve wanted one of these
forever.”
6 “You need a bigger place.” (And I told her, “with the help
of a miracle).”
All kidding aside, we hear great comments all the time. We try so hard
to have a great selection for all sizes from kid’s to adult’s, and men’s and
women’s. Your donations have made this all possible so the local communities
can buy items at a more then CHEAP price.
Prices have gotten out of hand at the regular places to shop with this
economy. Also, there are some second shops that are trying for higher prices
because of this economy. We have been here for four and a half years, and
our prices for you have not changed one bit. Our costs have gone up for most
everything to run a shop of this kind, but because we only have the basic
supplies to work with, we keep your cost down. In answer to a ladies
question last week of “Wouldn’t you like a bigger place with your own
bathroom and a few luxuries ?” Well of course, but that’s not going to
happen without a lot of help and a lot of money so please shop with us and
be glad we keep the costs down even if our volunteers have no luxuries. The
volunteers are here because they believe in what we do for the local
communities: folks up North, homeless, and less fortunate people out of
work, people who struggle after fires and other emergencies. We help the
refugees and we actually help save the taxpayer a lot of money as many folks
tell us they would have to have the help of welfare without our helping
them. Not to be forgotten are the good things that we help to keep out of
the dump.

Chichester Grange
Chichester Grange met on August 19, upstairs in the Grange/Town Hall.
Fans supplied by Fred Carlson kept the air circulating and the temperature
down, and a program on the topic of Ice Cream presented by Carolee Davison
kept the members’ minds on cooler things than the atmosphere.
The charter was draped in loving memory of Clayton Weeks and John
Varney, long-term Grange members who had passed away since the last meeting.
Committees were appointed to write resolutions in their memory and report
back at the next meeting.
Wildlife sightings included many insects of the stinging variety. It was
reported that cats are apparently being dropped off on Horse Corner Road as
strays have been noticed there lately.
A laundry basket has been provided and members should begin bringing in
donations of new linens to be given to Rape & Crisis Centers at the Annual
Meeting of the New Hampshire State Grange in October. The meeting will be
held on the last weekend of October at the Ashworth by the Sea Hotel in
Hampton, NH. The Grange is also collecting Mittens, either hand or machine
made, and 2010 Calendars.
Following the meeting, seasonal refreshments were served by Jean Farnham
and Ginny Azotea. The next meeting will be September 2nd, as the Grange will
resume meeting twice a month through December.
