INDEPENDENCE DAY…I like the sound of that better than I like the sound of The Fourth of July. Our children and grandchildren need to hear the words independence, freedom and liberty. They need to be taught and we need to remember the sacrifices made by our forefathers. In 1775 Revolutionaries seized control of each of the thirteen colonies’ governments, set up the Second Continental Congress and formed a Continental Army.

ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE - the members of RWOP don’t quit. We persevered through rain, storms and the threat of tornados to exceed our goal and raise $5,578 at the Garage Sale which was held on May 2 and 3. Due to weather, we closed at about 2 o’clock on Friday (our biggest day). On Saturday we were forced to make many sales at discounted prices. Even with these problems, we almost doubled our goal which was $3,000. Unsold items were donated to the grateful and deserving Disabled American Veterans. I would like to thank everyone who helped by donating items, hauling furniture and boxes, donating food and working tirelessly at the event. If you were unable to participate in this fundraiser, we will gladly accept cash donations. (more…)
