THANK YOU to all who participated in Cossitt's Spring Clothing Sale. Whether you were a volunteer, seller or shopper, you contributed to the success of the sale.

The sale was a great success.  *) It provided an  opportunity for Cossitt families and others all around  us a chance to purchase gently-used clothing and equipment at much reduced costs. *) We were able to donate a large amount of unsold clothes to many worthy charitable organizations.  *) Clothes that would have otherwise been discarded were given a new life.

A special thank you to Clothing Sale Chair Julie Anderson, Co-Chair Katie Allan, and the fabulous Clothing Sale Committee and volunteers!   Clothing Sale Committee Roster
