The DeKalb Rape Crisis Center will be having their “Jewelry Sale” on Monday, September 21 on the Bandstand on the Old Courthouse Square. The sale includes used jewelry, purses, and some other items. The majority of the items are gently used and a great bargain as most are under $2. Be sure to stop by to find that special piece of jewelry that you just can’t live without. My friends and I love this sale and often find real “treasures”. You will also be supporting a great cause in the community. The sale is from 9 am until 3 pm. Shop early for the best finds!
