Moving help this week???

We acquired a few items from the Home School House after they closed the
store last month, but have been unable to get them moved so far. They
must have the building cleared before this weekend!

We are looking for a couple of guys with a truck who can move some
things. The large items include some bookcases, extra large white board,
stacking chairs, etc. If someone can even just LOAN a truck I think we
can get some people to do the moving.

If you can help with this need, please call Elise ASAP. 281-363-1402

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas with family and friends!
Elise
