The Village Christian Apartments’ Annual Bazaar will be held:
When: Saturday, November 2, 2013 – 9:00 – 3:00 PM
Where: Village Christian Apartments, 7925 Rockwood LaneThe bazaar will have great bargains on white elephant items, antiques, gifts, crafts, and home-made baked goods. Two beautifully crafted quilts pieced by hand will be raffled off during the course of the day. The cafe will be open from 9:00 – 2:00.
These apartments house low-income elderly and disabled people. The proceeds from the bazaar help pay for events, trips, luncheons and equipment for these residents. They work very hard for this yearly event to “earn” the money, and it is very nice to have neighbors turn up to buy.
The apartments generously provide space for numerous neighborhood meetings. The January 2013 NSCNA annual meeting was held at their activity room. This will be an opportunity for the neighborhood to support their residents and show appreciation for their generosity.
