Waynesboro Senior Center Yard Sale Committee volunteers have been working really hard in the last couple weeks. They had been hosting a monthly yard sale at the Center as a fundraiser for us. But we had to cancel the yard sales for the last four months due to our construction project. They are going to resume with a Yard Sale next week on Thursday (February 7) from 10a.m. – 1p.m. For the last two weeks the committee has been hard at work, cleaning, reorganizing, and pricing all the new donations. Our sales are always open to the public and the best way to say thank you to this group is to have a large number of shoppers attend the sale. Please come out to see what treasures we have!

UVa. is 14-5 overall, 4-2 in the ACC, owns a win on the road at Wisconsin, and as such would seem to have a decent NCAA Tournament resume. Except that the Cavs also lost at home to Delaware and lost to Old Dominion on a neutral court, a loss that gets worse by the day as the Monarchs are now a woeful 2-17 overall and 0-7 in the CAA. So tonight’s game against N.C. State becomes as much a must-win game as you will see in late January.
