A SALE FOR HIS HOUSE Ka Re Ta began a service project in 1988 which has become a tradition for the group. Once each semester, the girls gather, price , tag and sell leftover items from His House, a benevolence ministry of the College Church of Christ. Members took the hard-to-move items from His House , including books, toys, clothing and appliances in need of minor repairs, and sold them on a chilly ovember Saturday. George Wilson, the elder in charge of the minist1y, and his wife, Rosemary , provided the setting for the sale by allowing the girls to use their driveway. Typical of garage sales in this area, customers began arriving at 6:00 a.m. and , when the sale ended at 3:00 p .m. , more than $300 had been raised to buy food and other pant1y items for needy families. A repeat performance in the spring allowed additional funds to be available. Club member Rena McCarty said, "Having the garage sale each semester really helps His House, the community and the club. His House gets money it needs, the community gets to purchase items they need and to have its needy families helped, and the club gets a lot of respect for what we are tiying to do. " Ka Re Ta enjoyed doing the garage sale. "It 's something we all really do toge ther," President Johnna Jones said. Junior Jenny Tyree added, "It's great knowing that something we like to do can help someone. " - Lisa Stiles "It's great knowing that something we like to do can help someone."
