HILLSDALE—After 17 years holding one of its most prominent community fundraisers, the Joan’s Joy Foundation host its last yard sale on Saturday, June 24 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the 45 Florence St. home office of the foundation.
Rain date is June 25. At least 13 long tables will be piled with jewelry, home decor, electronics, kitchenware, and toys, and there’ll be racks of clothes.
Proceeds support a trip to Six Flags Great Adventure for local underprivileged children, and help orphaned children of Ukraine.
Pre-orders will be taken for the book “The Message of Light Amid Letters of Darkness,” by Rosemarie Birri D’Alessandro, which will be available to see in prototype form.
We’re told “The book includes 325 letters by Joan’s murderer to a pen pal and will leave the reader spellbound by the intrigue and the parallel story of the events in Rosemarie’s life which will inspire.”
Rosemarie tells Pascack Press, “We can’t thank everyone enough who participated in the 17 yard sales. The memories with stay with us.”
