A community garage and craft sale will be held on Saturday, June 06 by the Larnaca Parents Network (LPN) with all welcome to participate with a table, or by visiting the event.
The 'Table Top & Craft Sale' will offer the opportunity to clear out unwanted clothing, household goods, toys, books, antiques, furniture and any other items that can be sold, as well as original crafts. And whilst the table fee goes to the LPN's 'Give a Gift' appeal, the sale proceeds are kept by the table-holder, making it a great opportunity for people to make money and also help a good cause.
Table space is €10 if you have your own table to use, or €13 to rent the space and table. The sale will be held on the grounds of the Greek Evangelical Church (which is opposite the American Academy's Weir Hall building) from 10am to 4pm.
The 'Give a Gift Appeal' supports needy families living locally, and for this event will be used to make up emergency parcels that the Greek Evangelical Church will distribute to those in most need.
Aside from the tables, there will also be refreshments, homebaked goods, food and children's entertainment that has been donated by Angela Ashby of Angela's Activities.
Founder of LPN, Sharon Holmes says that the garage sale will be the biggest of its kind in Larnaca: "These kind of garage sales are very popular in the UK and other countries, but not really seen in Cyprus. So many people have things that they would like to get rid of and this is a fantastic opportunity for them to also make some money in difficult times whilst supporting our efforts to help those less fortunate in the community. The old adage of 'one man's junk is another man's treasure' is certainly true and we anticipate there being lots of fantastic bargains to pick up! It is also an opportunity for artisans to sell their original crafts. We hope to see everyone supporting the local community either by attending or booking a table, as well as promoting the event for us, and we are confident that this will be the biggest mass garage sale of its kind so far."
To Book your table please call Sarah Campbell on 96396784.
