The Sale is Saturday, April 28th, 2007 and while many of us will be in Bradenton, we can still help out a lot by bringing stuff to the storage unit they've rented to collect items. Below is the information provided by Pair O' Dice Krewe Member and Cat Call Volunteer Lynn D'Ovidio - so get busy and get those closets and garages cleaned out. It's not a lot of work to do something good to help an excellent organization. Never heard of Cat Call?
