This past Saturday, we had our 12th annual neighbourhood garage sale. The event is named “Garagellennium” and it is the ultimate garage sale - imagine tons of houses in one area having garage sales all at the same time. The community becomes one big open market for a day.
Our children decided that this year, we would have our own garage sale in front of our house and all of the proceeds would be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society for the Relay For Life this upcoming weekend. They worked extremely hard for 6 hours and raised over $200!
The kids sold a variety of items ranging from lemonade and cookies to organic zucchini plants and toys.
Naimah even donated her princess bicycle and playhouse to raise money.
The customers had a difficult time resisting the hard sell on the lemonade and cookies.
Naimah was so dedicated that she practically didn’t leave the cash register for the entire day.
Our three children put all their hearts into the project. Léah was the banker, Gabriel organized the inventory, and Naimah was the captain and anchor of the team.
