ABBOTSFORD T RIBUNE PUBLISHED IN ABBOTSFORD THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1952 Rummage sale successful The Parents of School Musicians wish to express their appreciation to the many people who donated to their rummage sale, held Saturday; to the Girl Scouts who helped bring in the things; to Mrs. Ed Pascoe, chairman, and her committee of workers; and to the Abbotsford Hardware Company for the use of the warehouse where the sale was held.
The band parents ask those people who may still have items to save them until fall when another sale will be held. This is the one way the band mothers use to make money for their organization and your continued support helps in making these sales successful. All proceeds are used for the school music department. This year’s sale not only gave the band mothers $107.70 for their efforts but also gave generous help to the Salvation Army for relief for the flood victims, as all the left over articles were given to that organization Saturday.
