We want to thank you for posting our articles, list, and map for the Community Garage Sale. I had a sale myself this year and heard people talking about getting their list and map from the Icon.

We, the Friends, appreciate all you do for the community of Bluffton and for the library. We also appreciate you telling us the date for next year's craft fair. We are looking forward to having our sale then.

Thank you,

Jan Potter
