This year is moving so fast and Christmas will be here before we know it. Congratulations to Lorelei Kelley and her fabulous team of “Santa’s Elves” for a very successful Christmas in July and Bake Sale. Santa rewarded us this year for being very good “Elves”!

Our Guild was honored to receive a special commendation from the City of Burbank, which was presented by Burbank City Mayor Bob Frutos, during the evening’s festivities.

Thrift Shop News Neither rain, nor thunder and certainly not lightening, could keep the “ Christmas in July and Bake Sale” from being a success . While the weather kept some customers in, on July 18 we still earned a spectacular $2,204. Congratulations to Sharon Terranova, Patroness Liaison, and the “Baking Elves” for all the wonderful goodies they donated, adding an additional $802. 85!!!!! Bringing the day’s total to $3,006.85. With the Christmas decorations staying up until the end of the month, as of July 28 we have garnered $6,075.81 from the annual sale, plus the Bake Sale, bringing the total to a whopping $6,878.66! We had twice as much merchandise than we have ever had. Thanks to the” Pricing Elves”, 51 bins of holiday goods were brought to the Thrift Shop by Santa Ron Spang and his ” Merry Group”, including Mark Sadusky , Brad Welker, Chris Welker, Jake Kelley and Anthony Ravelo. The Pricing Elves outdid themselves and completed marking the items in three, 4-hour days. Wow! They worked hard, and had lots of fun too! Many willing Elves were awaiting Santa’s arrival at 4 p.m. on Friday, July 17, ready to unload and decorate the Shop. It looked like a daunting task, but as usual, the Elves did their magic and the bins were emptied and the merchandise beautifully displayed by 7:30 p.m. There were about 17 members who helped, too many to list here, but many thanks to those of you who created our Holiday Wonderland. Big kudos to our wonderful Monday Girl Elves who packed up our regular merchandise to make way for Christmas in July. They also made another smart decision to leave up the beautiful 12-foot table that was donated to the Shop by Huntington Library. It made a beautiful display area. They are so smart! Another “ Christmas in July and Bake Sale” is over, and once again it is difficult to really thank all the willing hands that gave of their time to help make it a success for the children. So much dedication is hard to imagine—but our members have it in bundles. Hugs to All the Elves, Lorelei Kelley Thrift Shop Chairman Shop Hours: Tuesday – Saturday (10-4) Sunday (10-2) 3301 W.
