St. Clement’s Episcopal Mega Yard Sale
Posted in COMMUNITY on September 26, 2018 by Julie Nachtwey, the Claremont Hills Real Estate ExpertLast week I donated items for the St. Clement’s Episcopal Church once-a-year mega yard sale. Perhaps yesterday you drove by the church side yard, on Claremont at Avalon. What a production by the incredible members of St. Mary’s Guild who raised $6,000. No surprise – I left with a few purchases myself! Team leader was Barbara Smith, who received help from daughter Jean Ann Smith. Also on duty was her longtime friend DeeDee Martin. Barbara and DeeDee have been working together to benefit the church since 1969. DeeDee was supported by her daughter Margie, granddaughter Jen and great-granddaughters Sierra and Annacy. Barbara and Dee have been my friends since Nancy Smith babysit for my sons more than 30 years ago.
