UNCLE AL’S THRIFT SHOP

Mother Nature has been kind to us so far this winter — could spring weather be already on its way? Of that we

can’t be sure. There are plenty of cold weather clothes still available at Uncle Al’s: coats & jackets, sweaters,

scarves, etc., all at bargain prices. Some great sales have been happening too — last week, a whole rack of

women’s pants were 50 cents each! Take a few steps up into the front area and you will find some exceptional

pieces: one of a kind serving dishes, wall décor items, a big selection of throw pillows and lots of lamps (some

very unusual).

Don’t forget to check out Uncle Al’s window display, changing with the seasons and holidays. And, most items on

display are for sale. If you see a volunteer in the window, you can wave if you like even though she is not really a

part of the display, but is most likely getting something that a customer wants to purchase.

Uncle Al’s is glad to accept your donations during shop hours: Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from

10:00am to 4:00pm.

All proceeds benefit St. Joseph-Immaculate Conception Church.
