Our annual flea market will be on March 2, 2019. Members of the Co-Op can sell their stuff, tables are for rent, and large items will be sold on the Clubhouse east porch. Flyers advertising our Flea Market have been posted around in the local area to bring in buyers.

Member table sales are every Social Hour until then.  First table is $10 and each additional table is $5. Sharon Ashford is our volunteer sales lady.

THIS IS A CHANCE TO CLEAN OUT YOUR SHED!

Large items you want to sell on the porch can be brought to the porch from 9-1
on Friday March 1st. All items MUST have name, lot #, amount you want (realizing 10% goes to BB), and lowest you will accept. Around 10 AM we will pull the flatbed trailer around the park to pick up LARGE items. They also MUST have name, lot #, amount you want (realizing 10% goes to BB), and lowest you will accept. If this info is not on them we won’t pick them up.

Do NOT leave items on the porch at other times!! We are not going to go around the park looking for information. After the Flea Market you are responsible for removing any unsold items.

For more information – contact the coordinator, Larry Smith lot #45.

VOLUNTEERS needed for 3/1 for set-up and 3/2 for sale day. Sign up sheets are in the Clubhouse.

Well folks, it looks like we’ve pinned down our Brown Bag Auctioneer. Just got word that they will be in San Antonio on Friday, February 15th for an appointment on Satuday, the 16th. Its been quite a long time since they’ve been here and we’re really looking forward to seeing them again. So come on out Saturday evening, February 16th for the Annual Potato Bake at 5:00 pm, followed by the Brown Bag Auction. It’s guaranteed to be a fun evening.

Oh, by the way…there are plenty of empty brown bags available in the Clubhouse, so take one, put something in it that YOU would like to get if you bid on it and won. It should have a value of at least $10. Then seal it up so folks can’t peek, put a little hint on the outside of the bag as to what might be in there and bring it to the Clubhouse the night of the Auction. Remember….this is strictly a FUND RAISING event, so lets make it a successful one.

I would like to submit a Thank You note to all the LSC members who helped with the setup and teardown for the Fiddlers Association; also, a big thank you to those who helped in the kitchen. We hope everyone who attended the performances enjoyed the music as much as those who performed for you. The Clubhouse is a great place for music. Hope to see you all again in November, December and January.
