Joe Goodrich
Sunday, May 27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Odd Fellows Hall
From Ginny Lu Wood
There is a wonderful celebration taking place at Odd Fellows Hall for Joe and Elaine Goodrich.
What started out as an idea for a garage sale with Elaine and Ginny Lu [Wood] last year has grown into a fabulous Orcas Island community garage sale.
The Goodrich’s life has been turned upside down since the original idea last year. Joe is battling metastasized cancer. As a long time islander, owner of Rainbow Home Services and an Odd Fellow, Joe is an amazingly vibrant man who has always thought of others first. And now we need to do something for him!
A bigger garage sale is now in order. And it is so much more than just a garage sale and with a very wonderful cause.
We have a date Sunday May 27th! From 10am-3pm. A venue Odd Fellows Hall and a storage unit to keep stuff in until the event (both donated for the cause)!
People are needed to help with the set-up and breakdown, bake sale, silent auction, entertainment, advertising and gathering/delivering stuff.
The more helpers, the merrier.
You can drop off stuff to sell behind Moon Glow Arts & Crafts. If you have big ticket items we can auction off please drop off at Moon Glow, Faraways or Wood’s Cove.
We have a truck and men with strong backs and are willing to pick up larger items if needed. Please don’t leave junk as we don’t want to use any $ raised to get rid of it!
All proceeds go to the Joe Goodrich Wellness Fund!
If you don’t have time or goods to donate, you can always drop of a check payable to the Joe Goodrich Wellness Fund at Moon Glow, Wood’s Cove or Faraways or Washington Federal Bank!
We plan to make this a fun and exciting event! Spread the word! It is for a great cause.
Share the love for Joe and Elaine.

Dear Joe and Elaine; Here I am so far away in Michigan…but my thoughts and love are with you..and if I were there, you would have my time and energy, too. In lieu of that, I will help as I can…for your wellness and peace of mind. Just to let you know I am aware and care.

Joe and Elaine,
I’m sending love and healing thoughts your way. Like Sandra, I am too far away to join in the garage sale but my prayers are coming your way with a little California sunshine thrown in.
