Education Judy Cabrera, V.P. Finance Sue Barnes, V.P. Membership Linelle Vicente, V.P. Philanthropic Pat Di Gennaro, Recording Secretary Carol Svatora, Treasurer Judy Rogers, Building Herta Collins, Hospitality Sue McGrew, Resource Development Marcie Haug, Service Kathy Blyth, Thrift Alley Vicki Carlson/Rayma Halloran, Technical Chair Lesha Wheelock-Zakari, Marketing Danette Erickson and Parliamentarian Karen Millman.

ALG announced the planned reopening of its Thrift Alley at 314 Harvard St. in Glendale on Wednesday, July 8 at 10 a.m. The store sells collectibles, clothing, books, household items, bric-a-brac, linens, furniture and much more. There is free parking and wheelchair access. All purchases are free of sales tax. The store will reopen with many limitations including the number of visitors allowed inside at one time and extreme cleanliness procedures. The hours in July are from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday.

ALG members are readying the shop to reopen on July 8.

At this time, the annual Christmas sale is planned for Aug. 6-8. With so many unknowns, the League forges ahead to continue to give all of its profits back to the people of Glendale and GUSD schools. Virtually, ALG awarded $18,000 in scholarships to seniors in the GUSD Class of 2020 and will continue its programs for the students of GUSD and the people of Glendale.
