On Saturday, March 2 from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Aynor High School FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) club will host a community yard sale at AHS. Folks can participate in the fundraiser by purchasing a spot ($15 for one space) in the parking lot to sell their items. Here is how it works: You purchase a parking spot, the FBLA keeps the profits from the spot they sell, you sell your items and keep all the money generated from your sales. It's a win-win!! Come out and support the AHS FBLA this coming Saturday. For more information, contact Ms. Heidi Dickerson at hdickerson@horrycountyschools.net
