The rummage sale at the Altona grange on Saturday, Oct. 24, 1998, was an unqualified financial success, as well as serving as a means of bringing together area residents. There was enough collected after expenses to finance many future newsletters. Another sale is planned for next October.

The success of the sale was in large part due the hard work, expertise, and organizing ability of Anne Bliss. Significant time and energy were donated by Penne Adams, Jim Day, Barb Abizaid, Curtis Chong, and Steve McCoy in addition to most of the TMA board members.
