One of our dancers has been bringing “yard sale” items to the dances and putting them out on a small table. People can leave donations for items they take. No items are priced. Whatever doesn’t have a new home by the end of the evening goes back home with the donor. Items have to be in good condition, usable, and people sign up to bring their items so we’re not overwhelmed with tables full of last week’s yard sale left-overs. All money goes the dance group.
