Red Cross jumble sale set for Methodist church May 27
Red Cross Society scheduled a jumble sale and a tea event at the Methodist church on Saturday May 27 to support charity. A Red Cross tea and sock shower drew few attendees, likely due to bad roads, while residents rallied to aid the cause. At Mrs. Tait’s home, district women presented Annie Angus with a gifts basket as she prepares for marriage, though she will remain in the district.
