‘Bright Beginnings’ donation
Father Robert Cummins, pastor of The Church of the Visitation near Topping, presents a $300 check from its 2009 yard sale proceeds to Middlesex YMCA director Buzz Lambert. Looking on are Lynne McMurtrie, the church’s children’s department chairman, and Carole McPherson, yard sale chairman.
The funds will help outfit children for school who need assistance under the Y’s “Bright Beginnings” program. “This is the sixth year our church has returned proceeds to the community, and I think this is one of the reasons people support us by buying at our annual yard sale,” said McPherson.
The 15th annual “super” yard sale will be held at the church on Route 33 near Harmony Village on Saturday, August 14, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
