A celebration is taking place at Odd Fellows Hall for Elaine and Joe Goodrich. 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,” say organizers. “And now we need to do something for him!”

A community garage sale will be held on Sunday, May 27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Odd Fellows Hall.

People are needed to help with the set up and breakdown, bake sale, silent auction, entertainment, advertising and gathering/delivering stuff. Items can be dropped off behind Moon Glow Arts & Crafts.

If you have big ticket items that can be auctioned off, go to 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,” say organizers.

All proceeds from the event will go to the Joe Goodrich Wellness Fund. Checks can also be donated to the fund at Washington Federal Bank.
