Assistance League Way Side Inn Thrift Shop’s “Christmas in July”

The dedicated member volunteers at Assistance League^® Way Side Inn Thrift Shop, located at 3521 Golden Gate Way in Lafayette, question the adage that “Christmas comes but once a year.” At this writing, they are hastily preparing for the annual “Christmas in July” event, slated to begin on Tuesday, July 17. These energetic summertime elves are organizing “sleighsful” of Christmas inventory that again promise to bring a festive holiday look to your home.

Picture such accoutrements as wreaths, garlands enhanced with lights, many of them never used, as well as angels, centerpieces (big and small), Santas and elves adorning your hearth. Likewise, an eye-catching assortment of wrapping paper, gift bags and holiday tins promise to enrich your holiday memories. As for last minute details, Christmas cards (boxed, individual and packs of 20) are also available.

As tradition would have it, the bountiful treasures disappear as quickly as Santa when ascending the chimney; so please plan accordingly. You do not want to miss this event. A return visit, as in “checking it twice,” might be called for here.

As always, heartfelt thanks to all of you for your generous donations and purchases, both of which improve the lives of those in our community who are vulnerable.
