Our first Benefit Garage Sale was
a huge success! In the bible it says you
have not because you ask not. Well we
asked and we received! Donations
came in from over 100 families and
businesses for our first garage sale!
The cars with people were streaming in all
day long! There was definitely something
here for everyone! Not only were they coming
to buy our treasures but new donations came
in as the day went on!
The word is getting out about what we do
at Victory Reins and how we are
impacting the lives of our students!
Everyone is in agreement that this is a good
thing and definitely well needed in our
area. We have met so many awesome people who
want to co-labor with us on this journey
that we are overwhelmed by their kindness
and grateful that they too, have caught the
vision. I am still amazed at what took place
this past weekend right before my very eyes!
People who we don’t even know helping us
carry in tables and cover our merchandise
with tarps when it started to rain. Offering
tarps and signs for the sales, donating
their change and encouraging us with their
kind words. It was awesome to see the
community come together for such a worthy
cause!
We are so grateful that all of you took
the time out of your busy day to bring us
your items for the sale and to come out and
shop over the weekend. The garage was
literally packed up with boxes at least
chest high to cover at least 2-1/2 bays. It
took us over 14 hours and several people to
set it all up and the best part of all is
that it was all organized so well and
pre-priced that all we had to do was set it
out! Good thinking Sue! Start boxing up
those unwanted treasures so we can do it all
over again next year!
This just may have to be an annual
thing! We did have a lot of fun, laughs
and good food! Not to mention the fact that
we raised $2200.00 to the
penny! Even though the Treasurer threw in
the last cent literally! We still have a few
items to sell on E-bay and hopefully a few
other larger items that are still being
considered. Plus we were able to pick up our
first corporate sponsor BAP
ENTERPRISES, INC.
Thank you from the bottom of our heart to
all those who have touched us so deeply by
co-laboring with us. We met many of our
neighbors and made a lot of contacts in the
area. It was a great day for networking and
meeting new friends.
Our vision is now becoming a reality
because of you! Your support means the world
to us and encourages us to strive to get
this program running. Many of you have
donated your time, money and talents so
generously! We are so blessed to be
associated with you and I know from personal
experience that you are definitely the wind
beneath my wings on a daily basis! Your
enthusiasm drives our passion for the horses
and the children and enables us to reach out
to the community more effectively.

Blessings to you!
