Next Sale scheduled for February 28 and March 1 Grand Ronde tribal member Andy Auger and his wife Rebecca would like to thank everyone who came to the special SUPER SALE they had recently in the Commu nity Center. It was a huge success and they hope everyone enjoyed the sale as much as they did putting it on. "It reminded us of how fun retail can be at times," said Andy. They plan to hold another SUPER SALE in the Community Center on Friday, February 28 from 1 0 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, March 1 from 1 0 a.m. to 4 p.m. so mark your calendars. They hope everyone who came last month will come again and anyone who didn't make it will have a chance to check it out this time. Andy said they have a better idea of the popular items now. The groceries soups, cereals, coffee, and Jello went very well. The $1 housewares and vari ety items, the special $2 medicine selections, and diapers also sold well. They will bring more and different items in these categories including some nice wicker for this next sale. "The biggest surprise was the boxes of clothing, household items, toys, health and beauty, furniture, household decorating items, and other general merchandise items we decided to bring at the last minute from one of our best liquidation ac counts." Andy said although they only brought a small 'lot' from this supplier, everyone seemed to really enjoy the items. "I guess people love digging through the boxes to find a bargain for themselves or their family, we will definitely bring more next time!" Andy is working with Nancy Holmes and others to help with the new Food Bank. He says the success of this sale is giving them the ability to help out even more than they had expected. Andy met with Mike Reibach. at the sale and they put together a package deal of many needed items for Spirit House. Andy and Rebecca would like to give a very special thanks to Russell Leno and family. Andy somehow strained his back on Saturday and could hardly move. Rebecca was faced with a six hour job of packing up the whole sale, until Russ showed up to get some last minute deals. Seeing the situation, Russ offered to help her and even called some of his family in to help as well. Thank you Russ Leno and family, and to everyone who came to this sale. The next sale is a big sale to put on and the Augers will be utilizing some part time helpers. If anyone is interested in working, contact Connie Holmes at the Human Resources Department at 879-2267.
