Blue Light Special in Aisle Four
Shop in Men's - October 3 - 6:00-7:30PM
Special Pre-Sale in the Rummage Men's Department will be running an evening Pre-Sale session on Wed., October 3 from 6:00-7:30PM. On the corner of Maple & Cherry. We believe there are parishioners whose work commitments prevent them from making it to the sale itself but would benefit from the excellent merchandise we have on hand. Come check out our suits, outer wear, and top designer labels. See what has your name on it in our boutique. Pre-Sale pricing will be in effect; there will be a 25% surcharge on all items.
