When this happens, we communicate the decision throu

The next rummage sale at FCC has been postponed from October to November. It will be held on Friday November 7 and Saturday November 8th from 9AM to 4PM each day. That gives us plenty of time to assemble a great variety of things to sell! A rummage sale benefits everyone in several ways. 1.
