Charity Garage Sale Fast Approaching!
My girlfriend is the organizer of an upcoming community garage sale to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. It is going to be held this Saturday at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church located at 2021 SW 29th St. All of the proceeds generated at the garage sale will be donated to St. Jude and anything left over will be given to the Salvation Army (probably). So come out and check out all the great deals on clothing, video games, TVs, furniture, a bunch of other stuff I can’t think of right now, and you could even bring some things you’d like to sell for charity. It’s this Saturday from 7 a.m. till 4 p.m. so don’t miss out!
A little anecdote about this church
While I was there, I found their bulletin board where they have notices posted for upcoming events in the parish. And of course there was one there for the garage sale:
You’ll notice above it is a seperate invitation to join Topeka Habitat for Humanity and donate time or money to their cause. I then glanced over to the left of the bulletin board and saw this:
I was rather flattered to see this graphic because it happens to be the one I made for their website a while ago.
The sad thing is that I don’t maintain that website anymore, but it’s good to know that it’s being used and appreciated. It doesn’t look like any modifications have been made to it since handing the reigns over to another local web developer, but I doubt that’s his fault (it wouldn’t be polite to elaborate). Anyway, the graphic was made in Gimp using the Supernova effect… it was really quite easy. I think I’ll redo it just for fun (because I have a half hour to kill).
