There is nothing better than shopping




Lots of interesting items were on hand here! Many of the displayed treasures were unwanted/unneeded articles donated by our very own Dumbell’s Fitness Studios family and friends!

We worked up a sweat with countless hours of preparation in our annual rummage sale fundraiser! It seemed to be a long day since we did rise with the sun at 6:00 am and then shut down in the afternoon. It was all worth it when our shoppers came rummaging in to help support in raising money for our female physique team on Sunday, March 4, 2007 . Lola, our very own Diamond Girl Mannequin attracted a lot of the drivers alongside the road. Wow, was she a beauty! She had the body of a Red Devil Vacuum, a glamorous black skirt with silver sparkles, a beautiful cashmere sweater and accessories of a princess! Lola wasn’t the only Diamond Girl involved. We all worked as a team as we greeted our shoppers with a winner’s smile, assisted their wants and needs and did I mention the holding of the signs and screaming our lungs out?!

It all came into place when we raised a great amount of money for a good cause! Did I mention that all of the donated items that were not sold were then donated to St. Vincent De Paul? Yes, they were! The children’s toys, clothing and accessories were also donated to Paradise 4 Tots, they were very thankful!


Thanks to all for your love and support. It has been a good year so far and it will continue to be even better as the year progresses.
