Yard Sale/Fund Raiser Redux

So what can we do, Rita? The yard sale items in your yard should be OK but I would not leave anything on the ground too long with the frost

Woven brightly,

The yard sale was tough sledding on Saturday because of the weather. Still, we managed to collect about $250. Not bad considering it was 49 degrees and rainy. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard and stood out in the cold rain!

Still, we didn't do as well as we wanted and there's lots of really nice stuff left, so we decided that we would try again this Saturday, October 24th.

However, we need people to help with set up and selling. The set up will be easy, because we left much of the stuff out and under tarps. It is supposed to be a lovely weekend and there's no Georgia football, so we should do very well. Of course, that means that we need all hands on deck. Anyone who can spare a few hours on Saturday, please lend a hand. You don't need to be there all day. This is one of our major fund raisers. We need the money and the help.

That being said, I will not be there this Saturday. I will be at a family wedding in Clemson. However, I am going to place an ad on Craig's list and put signs up in town.

Call Rita Bennett at 706-310-9972. Ask her what she needs and tell her when you can be there.

Thanks!

Jonathan

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
