Saturday - Monday, Sept. 5 - 7, Deaf Youth Yard Sale at 913 Colorado Street, Gooding, ID. Friends and Community, President Alan Wilding of Idaho Association of the Deaf (IAD) received a sizeable donation this weekend. Literally 9 truckloads full of items from one place and a trailer/truck load of items from another.  Alan is having a HUGE sale during Labor weekend to benefit the youth program under the Idaho Association of the Deaf. Specifically, the money will be used to sponsor Jr. NAD and to add to the Youth Leadership Camp (YLC) scholarship fund. This is a GREAT cause!!!

It will be a lot of work setting everything up and so Alan is asking for volunteers to come on Friday, September 4th around 4 PM to help set up. Alan is willing to pick up some pizzas and root beer for everyone that comes to help. We will need help setting up and cleaning up (Friday and Monday). Please spread the word and please email wildi...@gmail.com if you're able to stop by and help, even if only for an hour. Those that come from Boise or Pocatello are welcome to stay at Alan's house or in his RV.
