<div dir="ltr">You failed to name one person....YOURSELF! Thank you so much. Also, thank you to Danr and the Kids for donating so much of their time and effort.<div><br></div><div style>Also, I believe you missed one anecdote. If I remember correctly your very own, Hilda, made the first purchase of the yard sale (a pony I almost fought her for).</div>

<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>The yard sale is winding down, as we are packing up the leftovers, and I want to take this chance to thank all the members of the populace who worked so hard on this. Their Excellencies Baron Ulf and Baroness Maleah, Lady Kersten and Lord Cornelius, and Lady Valena stored donations in their homes. They, Her Excellency Baroness Annabelle and others sorted them to determine what would suit our affected families and what would not. Then when we decided to hold the yard sale, Baroness Maleah, Baroness Margarite, Lord Vincenti and Lady Margherita, and Ann Marie Eckert offered tables and clothes racks, and searched their homes for other items to donate. Baron Orlando brought a popup which allowed us to shade many of the sale tables during the heat of the day on Friday and to keep the books dry on Saturday. On the days of the sale many people came and worked, including Baroness Margarite who was invaluable as our cashier, Lady Valena, Lord Loemax, and Lady Kyna. On Friday Lord Steven brought his firepit and kept us fed with hot dogs and brats and sold them to customers as well. On Saturday Lord Bo brought his leatherwork and Lord Danr set up his Norse tent, in order to attract people to the sale. The leatherwork in particular got lots of attention. Baroness Maleah, Baroness Ayesha, and Lady Valena answered my call for more non-clothing items on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning; that really helped to round the sale out. Special thanks to Lady Valena who has been at my house almost every day for a week, bringing things over, working on the sale itself, and boxing up the tremendous amount of leftovers.<br>
<br></div>The sale was very successful -- we cleared $871 for the tornado relief fund. This will allow us to pass on the generosity of the Ansteorran populace to our tornado-affected families, even though many of the donations were not directly usable by those people.<br>
<br></div>Because we have such a great quantity high-quality clothes remaining, and because relief sites and thrift stores in the area are drowning in clothes right now, we have decided to store the remaining items and hold another sale. Lady Kathryn atte Unicorn has generously offered us the space to do so. We anticipate having the sale in August, probably during the city-wide garage sale weekend, although details are not yet firm. So keep that in mind as you clean closets and garages this summer -- we'll need your extra items in a couple of months.<br>
<br></div>If there is anyone who I have failed to thank by name, please forgive me. I am very grateful for all the support in this last-minute project.<br><br></div>In service,<br><br></div>Lady Vigdis<br>
