May 31 Tag Sale to Support Habitat for Humanity

press release from St. Augustine's Parish

(May 8, 2003) St. Augustine's Parish in Larchmont will hold a tag sale on Saturday, May 31 in their parking lot (on Larchmont Avenue, behind the French-American School, next to the Larchmont Library) from 10 to 4, rain or shine, to raise funds to support Habitat for Humanity.

Tag sale chairperson Anne Avenius declared, "Habitat for Humanity's mission to provide housing is so compelling that we decided to organize this fund raiser. Funds will support Unity House, which is a cooperative effort by the region's houses of worship to provide a house for a needy family."

"Every family deserves to have a good roof over their heads," Ms. Avenius said. Earlier, parishioners from St. Augustine's worked on a Habitat House in Mt. Vernon.

"There will be something for everyone," she continued. "House wares, furniture, toys, books, small appliances, jewelry, tchotchkies, bibelots, gewgaws, plants -- food and beverages,"

"Help out and have fun, too."

Donations are gladly accepted. Tables are still available. All proceeds will go to Habitat for Humanity.

Call Anne Avenius at 914-527-6762 for further information.
