It's that time of year again! 

Grace B. and Roger H. have graciously agreed to host Lighthouse Lane #8.  So BCLG is looking for good used stuff to sell at Lighthouse Lane. 

Sunday July 10 from 8 am to 1:30ish Killarney Street becomes Lighthouse Lane for BCLG’s 8th Street Sale.  It’s our major fundraiser!

New this year we are concentrating all of the activity and "imposition" on our very generous hosts to the sale weekend (July 8 to 10) only.

1) Drop-off saleable items at 671 Beach Bld., (at Killarney) 2 mornings only - Friday and Saturday July 8 and 9 from 9 am to 12 noon.     

2) Sale day Sunday, July 10 plan to join us for a 2 or 3 hour shift – morning (8:30-10:30), midday (10:30-12:30) or early afternoon (12:30-2:30). 

We need helpers:
- 3 to 4 sun-seekers per shift roving the tables to make sales and package up the “fragiles” and pack up what’s left at the end,
- 2 greeters seated in the shade at the BCLG table to provide information on the group and the lightstation and to sell BCLG pins, other lighthouse merchandise, memberships and cold bottled water.

Volunteers need to bring their own lunch this year.  Water, iced tea, etc. will be provided.

This is our major fundraiser.  We need your help.
