Rolls Royce Garage Sale - Catherine Barr

SAGE Transition House, formerly known as Emily Murphy House, is the only facility for battered women on the North Shore. Here, women who are in need of safety and treatment can come, with their children, for help and assistance. The 18 bed, shot-term stay facility is a very necessary step towards recovery for many broken lives. On May 6, The Sutton Group of realtors pitched-in to raise some money for Sage through their "Third Annual Rolls Royce Garage Sale". Held at North Vancouver's Memorial Rec Centre, there was something for everyone. A big thanks to all the bargain hunters and volunteers who helped out.

A bag of books for only 10 cents? That was the deal Dorcean Holly was offering just before the doors closed.
