8th Annual Yardsale

Intoducing Sookie Sally

2011

Believe it or not!

One day when I was walking on Whiffin Spit this gorgeous creature leapt out of the water with "a tale to tell".

Her Momma was a"wild " Sooke girl and her Daddy was a "farmed boy". No one wanted this poor lost soul!

So, I told the other Lioness, we quickly adopted her and she lives on happily in the hearts of the Sooke District Lioness!!

Is there more to this 'tale' ?

Stay tuned - one never knows!!

Last minute setup before the doors at the Sooke Community Hall open to let in our customers at 9 a.m.

Lioness President Anne S presenting Sooke Lion Mike an appreciation gift for all the help we received from the Lions - they assist us by transporting much of the merchandise to the hall, helping us set up the tables, etc. and most importantly, helping us tear down and remove any unsold items. Thankyou so much, Lions!

Lionesses Shirlie V and Marlene T at the cash table.

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.

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!"

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

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

Lion Dave catching a few winks after the exertion of holding back the eager crowd!

Something for everyone - so much to look through !

Lionesses Yvonne D, our coffee, donuts and hotdog lady, with Lioness Sue, modelling a very trendy frog hat.

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....
