St. Augustine’s “One More Time Thrift Shop” volunteers would like to thank all our customers for their support this summer. It has been wonderful to see you again!
Keeping the shop running smoothly takes many hands. If anyone has a few hours and would like to help please call the office 691-7673. We are here working during shop hours as well as other days and times refilling the shop. We enjoy companionship while we work and would love to have you join us.
We will be closed this week through October 5 to do season change over. Just ONE week this time working extra hard so we can reopen as soon as possible. PLEASE hold all donations during this time as we will be focused on the shop! We will reopen Tuesday, October 6 at 12 noon with winter clothing and holiday items, see you then!
Congratulations to the Peterson Studio on 30 years! 30 years of educating students and fostering a love of music. Owner, Maria Peterson would like to share her videos of students during their remote piano concerts with community members through her Facebook page.
Maria says, “I have shared them on Facebook but would love to share them far and wide because who doesn’t need more music in their lives? Especially when performed by our youth. Does a heart good.” When congratulated on her success of 30 years, Maria replied “Feels good to still be doing what I love!”.
