Temple Or Olam’s Upcoming Yard Sale: All Proceeds go to our Religious School

Time for a summer housecleaning?

Samuel and Shannon Leder have graciously offered to host a yard sale to benefit Temple Or Olam’s Religious School during their neighborhood’s annual yard sale.  The exact date will be determined by the Woodcreek neighborhood soon, but it may be as early as July 30th.

Please start saving anything you think you can contribute to our yard sale.  Please price and label items on your own to minimize work for our yard sale volunteers (we don’t want them up all night pricing things AND getting up early, too, to sell them!).  We’ll all bring our items to the Leders’ home the day before the yard sale.

We’ll let everyone know as soon as we have a firm date.

For help on pricing items, please check out the following website:

Many thanks for your participation!
