Main GENERAL STORE from PAGE 1 The Salvation Army happenings Come in and see this amazing doll that Annette Crandall beautifully dressed. This sweet-faced doll came in with a partial missing leg, and An- nette, age 76, Quartzsite resident, dressed, attached a prosthetic leg, handmade her new shoes, and made a new outfi t that matches the dolls blue eyes. With vision diffi culties, Annette graciously donated this doll to us. Thanks so much for your kindness. Jann Fisher came and saw "her" side- walk last week. We have lots of posi- tive comments for this ongoing park- ing lot improvement project. Some light gravel and the dust will be kept down is the next enhancement. Sec- ondly, we will be moving the handicap parking slots over two slots. This will create a nice resting area with Carol Kelley's bench, Desert Shopper Distri- bution Box, and possible bicycle racks. Wouldn't it be nice to have a couple of large Quartz boulders as accent rocks- we are the Rock Capital of the World! Anyone able to donate large boulders or a bike rack, let us know. Thanks go to the Desert Flyers Re- mote Control Club, specifi cally mem- ber, Huck, who donated a metal shed. Huck's R/C buddies unloaded and set up the shed for us in less than one hour. Amazing team effort. We are grateful. Are you looking for a fun place to be this summer? We are air-conditioned, provide cold water, sometimes we have homemade pies, too, and we have fun. What about being a sum- mertime volunteer at TSA? We really could use a fi x-it person who likes to repair items. We provide all the sup- plies to do the jobs. During the sum- mer months- not sure yet when that will begin- we will be open on Tues- day, Wednesday and Thursdays, 8:00 to 12:00 noon. Choose your own day/ s, times, and area of interest. Stop by and see us for an application. Currently, we are closed each Mon- day. Donations please during open hours, 9:00am to 1:00pm, Tuesday through Saturday. We have a drop off area with donation carts and will help you unload your treasures. A remind- er, we cannot take books/paper that have gotten wet. We do not take mat- tresses, "fat" televisions, older print- ers. We take "what you would give to a friend" ….one's man's junk is fi ne, garbage goes to the transfer station just north of town. Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, and to work, and to play and to look up at the stars.

They have often donated to every local charity or fundraiser they could help, and they made a special effort to order meat and other items for local businesses and vendors over the years. There are a lot of non- profi ts who have benefi tted from their generosity and they will really be missed for their support.
