Volunteer Contributions

We will be having a series of blog postings that will be contributions from Treasures volunteers. The first in the series will be a poem from one of our volunteers about the range of emotions that new life experience create. I hope you enjoy this.

Change

Change is very frightening,
I don't know what to do,
It can also be exciting,
To try something new.

Why can't everything stay the same?
It would be more relaxing,
Maintaining the status quo,
Wouldn't be so taxing!

It is hard to embrace it,
When it scares me that much,
I guess I just have to face it,
And learn to buck up.

Maybe if I act really quiet,
It will forget me and pass me by,
I will lay low awhile,
Until all the change subsides.

Is all this really good for you?
Does it really make you grow?
How can you tell if it's helping you?
When the progress is so slow.

Change sure is a lot of work,
It's not a lot of laughs,
It's not easy to get used to,
And it's hard to stay on track.

Change is so unpredictable,
You can never tell what's what,
It can seem a bit elliptical,
Moving back and forth so much.

Others have survived it,
So it can't be all that bad,
I think I might try it,
Instead of wishing that I had.

More Auction Items

In our Auction Display Case there is a set of commemorative coins with the images of the Prime Ministers. The coins come in a wooden display plaque. This is a beautiful set for the coin enthusiast.

Also, in time for the fishing season, a set of reels and a lure. One Driftor tackle lure and one Pro Staff reel with a box. Now with the warm weather here, it is a great time to head to cottage country for some rest and relaxation and maybe some fishing.

After being closed for a few days, it is nice to be back. We have received many new donations that will be in our Auction Display case; beautiful cups and saucer sets, pottery, figurines and pictures.

It pays to visit our store regularly due to the abundance of donations we receive daily. The displays change often, as well as the the merchandise available for sale. There are occasional surprise sales at Treasures on our already low, low prices. Check out Treasures for your everyday needs!
