About the Cover Rosemary Merchant, Carolyn Schultz, and Sarah Van Fleet are three of the won derful team of volunteers who, with Council Program manager Chris Auffant, run the Island thrift shop, SchoolHouse Seconds. This summer has been busier than ever and the incredible donations keep coming! The shop is full of beautiful quilts and bedding. gently worn clothes, and all sorts of household items all at bargain prices. Watch for specials like “two for one” and “fill a bag”.
