CCHS GIANT GARAGE SALE BREAKS ANOTHER RECORDFor the 29th time, volunteers gathered in mid-May to sort and price and laugh and sweat, and talk and tote and scratch their head in wonder. The annual CCHS GIANT Garage Sale was yet
another record-breaking success. The tally is just shy of $63,000, topping the 2012 sale by $5,000.
For the first time, a generous donor gave us a car to sell. A power wheelchair was also donated. Last year’s big-ticket item was a small sailboat – just further evidence that this is not your average garage sale (and that our donors are the best). Our 16,186.5 square-foot space at Kesler Hall at the Champaign County Fairgrounds includes 6,935.5 square feet on the main floor, 4,418.5 square feet above the ramp and 4,832.5 square feet outside. We made $3.89 per square foot.
2013 was another phenomenal success, thanks to the 133 terrific volunteers (down from 150 in 2012) who donated 4,461.75 (up
from 4,404.25 in 2012) hours of labor between May 12, when we moved into Kesler, to May 28 when the last of our dust was swept out. Twenty-five new volunteers joined the fun. The income per volunteer hour was $14.01.
If our volunteers and donors are gold then the community business partners who return each year to contribute in-kind are priceless jewels. Community Resource provided a semitrailer for the collection of recycled fabric (5,800 pounds of clothing and shoes) during and after the sale (CCHS was paid $693 for these “remains.”). Community Resource also provided a dumpster for cardboard (no payment, but it is a huge convenience to have the big-volume receptacle for our 26 cubic yards of broken-down boxes). The City of Urbana provided recyclable totes for plastics, paper, and glass (we filled them 32 times). Republic Allied Waste provided a dumpster for our ever-decreasing amount of refuse (about 16 cubic yards this year). Metal for recycling was down a little this year over last, netting $393. UPS provided three semitrailers to store the bulky items (tables, chairs, Little Tykes, etc,). Armstrong Lumber, Blain’s Farm ‘n’ Fleet (who also donated pet supplies to sell), Do-it-Best Hardware, Home Depot, and Lowe’s provided the masking tape for pricing. Alexander’s Lumber lent us 48 sheets of plywood for our tables. Snacks for volunteers were provided by Dunkin’ Donuts, Einstein Bros. Bagels, LA Gourmet, McCormick Food Service, and Schnuck’s.

Love LettersDear CCHS Staff,
I just wanted to give you an update on one of the gerbils we adopted last summer. You might re-member him--a little white gerbil named Pascual who was notorious for biting anyone he could get his teeth into. He’d been there for the better part of a year, if I remember correctly, because he was such a biter, is why I think you might remember him. Anyway, I thought you might like to know that he’s doing quite well with us. We’ve renamed him “Bitey,” for obvious reasons, but he’s actually quite a sweetheart, even if he is the Genghis Khan of the gerbil world. We’ve kind of trained him by rattling a canister of pumpkin seeds (his favorite snack) when we need to reach into his house, so if he hears that rattle, he’ll go to one side of his aquarium to
look for his treat and then eat it there, rather than lunge immediately for our hands. He seems to like being in the middle of things, so we’ve moved his house onto the coffee table in the living room, and he quite enjoys seeing every-thing that’s going on. He’s actually a lot less nervous among all the hubbub; when he lived in the den with the rest of the gerbils (separate housing, of course), he would hurl himself at the side of his aquarium whenever anyone walked into the room, but mostly out of surprise, I think. But since we’ve moved him into the living room, he’s stopped going on the defensive, and acts more like a normally inquisi-tive gerbil (albeit a somewhat hyper one). He’s never going to be a cuddly gerbil, of course, and he won’t be picked up, but he’s a very good boy about getting into his travel carrier voluntarily when it’s time to clean his house, and he had a great time tearing into his presents at Christmas (a new canister of pumpkin seeds and a little wooden bridge for his house). He’s very good company and extremely smart, and we love him dearly.
Anyway, just thought I’d let you know that, despite his rocky beginnings, Bitey seems quite happy. And even though we joke about him being a Mob enforcer, he’s calmed down 100% with a stable home and lots of daily attention from his mama (me). I only wish we’d adopted him sooner.

Sadly, Bitey passed away on June 25th. Sharon writes, “I will remember him for the rest of my life, and I hope that when I die, Bitey is waiting on the other side, ready to sink his teeth into my ghost fingers.”

If you’ve been to the shelter lately, you’ve probably met Gizmo, the only cat with roaming privileges. We thought you’d enjoy an excerpt from Gizmo’s daily journal.
March 14, 2013
Long day. You wouldn’t think it, but being the shelter cat is incredibly taxing. People start turning lights on around here before 8 a.m. and they’re here – making quite a racket - until almost 8 at night. I’m guessing your average house cat sleeps for 10 of those 12 hours. Note to self: Demand a raise.
I don’t know whether Midnight is a master manipulator or just plain stupid. Kudos to him for escaping from Cuddletown at least once a day! But come on, man, take advantage of your freedom! Midnight (yes, I know, highly original name for a black cat) walks 3 feet down the hall and then sits. It’s like he actually wants to be picked up and put back in the room. I cannot
understand why any self-respecting cat would allow one of those t-shirt clad bi-peds to interfere with his manifest destiny.
And speaking of those bi-peds . . . today I had to remind them again, and I did so in loudest voice, that I will not tolerate being shut out of staff meetings in the break room! It’s as if they don’t want me to clear that sticky sweet stuff off the cupcakes for them. What gives?
O.k., time for lights out. I’m exhausted.
Gizmo is a 5-year-old neutered cat. Although Gizmo thinks he is running the shelter, he is in fact available for adoption.
