USS New York

USS New York

It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center. That fact amazes me and proves the scripture that God brings good from bad situations. I love scraps! Screendoors, windows, barbwire, buckets...you name it and we're gonna turn it into something beautiful. We want to restore the Goree Memorial Building Garage Sale and give it a wonderful twist. Soon, very soon, we will begin accepting hand-me-down donations again in order that we can restore what the rain destroyed. God will bring good from our disfortune.

Sale, Sale, Sale...

The Memorial Building garage sale building now has a new roof. But, what good is a new roof with mildewed merchandise. Soooo, last week we had a big, black bag sale. People were invited to fill a black bag for only $5.00, cheap~cheap~cheap. (It beat throwing it in the dumpster.) We even had one patron fill a suburban!!!

We have future plans for this structure! If the building is not leased by a company who builds cabinets, then we will begin plans for a new and improved thrift/antique store to benefit the Goree Memorial Building. Leasing or thriftstore, either way, proceeds will go towards the upkeep of the Memorial Building.

A big huge thanks to those who worked!!! Some baked for the bake sale, some sweat and swore while cleaning up, then again, some did all of the above. It was a huge job, but the benefits were worth it.
