Yard Sales 2008: August 16th, 9:00-1:00 pm

Please stop by the Milford Shelter, located at 289 West St.(Rte 140) in Milford for some bargains! It's a great place to shop for a dorm or first apartment — we have a huge variety of items. We DO NOT need donations of goods at this time, but if you would like to help out, how about assisting with the pack-up after the Yard Sale from 1-3 pm? If you are interested, please call Cindy at 508-478-6931.

And we will be having a special BOOK SALE this time around: $4 for a bag of books! We'll provide the bag and you fill it with any soft- and/or hard-covered books.

Please keep in mind that all of this is for the shelter and medical care of many cats and kittens that come our way. Every bit of help makes a difference. Thank you in advance! (Rain date: the following Saturday)
