Lion Dave guarding the door

Lioness Liaison Lion Dave N guarding the door until 9 a.m. - keeping the "early birds out" while we prepared for our big sale in a new location - the diningroom at the Sooke Community Hall (no rain and wind to worry about like last year !) All of our profits will be used to help send a child with disabilities to Easter Seal Camp Shawnigan this summer.

Organizing the books

Lots of organizing to do in a the hour before the sale starts - books and videos and tapes to organize, merchandise to display, and of course, "Is that coffee ready yet!"

Setting out the merchandixe

Shoppers everywhere

9 a.m. - doors opened and the crowds descended!

We could not have asked for better attendance at our annual sale !

Something for everyone - so much to look through !

"You'll have to come to Convention to see what the beachball is for"

Zone chairman Lion Mari Hall (holding the beach ball) and Esquimalt Lion Carol B made a special trip out to our sale. Mari says the beach ball will be used at the upcoming District 19-I Convention in Comox this April, but she won't tell us why....

Yardsale tents in the rain

Our rainiest yardsale yet! Tents and more tents

Thanks to the efforts of the Sooke Lions Club, we had tents and tarps everywhere - just in time to let in the customers.
