Got stuff? Want stuff? Either way, mark your calendar for Saturday, February 20 from 8:00 a.m. to noon for the Hawaii Island Humane Society’s Yard Sale to be held in Waimea at the shelter’s Bark Park.
Donations are being accepted so it’s an excellent time for some early spring cleaning. And for bargain hunters, we can guarantee some excellent finds on February 20.
All proceeds will benefit the many programs operated by the Hawaii Island Humane Society including community education and low-cost spay and neuter programs. Funds raised will also help offset rising costs associated with the care and feeding of thousands of pets that are abandoned or turned over to HIHS annually.
Call 329-8002 if you have items to donate and need assistance with pickup. Otherwise, items may be dropped off in Keaau, Waimea or Kona at the Hawaii Island Humane Society shelters there.

You can check out their “Site” The Hawaii Island Journal although it looks like they are using a very familiar blog template.
I look forward to reading their posts and seeing what these folks can do with their site.
The more folks that we can get online… the more information that can be shared amongst all of us.
