September 2016 Newsletter

A few words from Betty Merrill:

“As many of you know I am the new manager at The Highland Thrift Shop. I have found it quite interesting to learn about the history and the individuals who have made the store successful as it is today.   So, I would like to share some of that information with you (the customer).

The Highland Thrift Shop opened on June 8, 1987.  The first deposit to the banks was for $25.26.  The store relocated to a front room in the Casselman Ventures building on October 8, 1987.  The store moved again to its current location (in the old school gymnasium) January of 2009. 

The Highland Thrift Store is run by a board. The board

members decide on all the  financial and business practices

associated with the store.

The current board members are:

Arthur Green: Chairman/2000

Bev Spiker: Secretary/2015

Kathy Overholt: Treasurer/2012

Regina Holliday: Member/2013

Diana Detrick: Member/2016

Betty Merrill: Manager/2016

Joyce Schrock: Assistant Mgr/2012

 

 Do you feel called to help us?

The Highland Thrift Store is staffed
