Belk Fall Charity Sale - Benefits The Micajah Clark Dyer Foundation

The Micajah Clark Dyer Foundation is participating in Belk's fall charity sale on Saturday, November 3,2012 from 6:00 am to 10:00 am. We have tickets for admission to the sale available for you to purchase right now!
 
I know that many of you have participated in the charity sales in the past and are aware of how the event works. In fact, many of you have shared with me the good bargains you picked up during the sale, and the fall sale has been a great opportunity for purchasing Christmas gifts for everyone on your list. For those who need information about it, you can go to this website, http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/belk-fall-charity-sale-on-november-6-to-benefit-local-charities-and-schools-105665843.html. Or you can get the pertinent details from the Q&A given below.
 
This is a great fund-raising opportunity for the Foundation and a money-saving opportunity for you. All proceeds from sale of the tickets will be used to further the education of the public about Clark Dyer's 1874 invention of an "Apparatus for Navigating the Air" (the predecessor of the airplane) through making presentations to and producing and placing exhibits in museums, schools and libraries.
 
You can get your tickets in person from me or order them by mail by sending your check for $5 multiplied by the number of tickets you want to Micajah Clark Dyer Foundation, 805 Low Gap Rd., Blairsville, GA 30512.
 
Thanks for your participation.
