What's New at The Bargain Loft?If you haven't been to see us recently, we've received a new facelift! Thanks to Chess Consulting LLC, an accounting firm in Reston, the Bargain Loft has a fresh coat of paint on the walls and bookcases. Carin Craun, Director of Chess Consulting, offered to paint the Bargain Loft and bought the supplies and furnished 20-25 painters. Also many thanks to The Wiener's Circle, located near the Bargain Loft, who provided food for the painters. We have new racks for artwork and cards, as well as a new FISH sign outside. Becker Electric in Alexandria installed four ceiling fans at a fraction of the cost. Thanks to the children of St. George's United Methodist Church Bible School in Fairfax for cleaning all the shelves. What a nice group to give the Bargain Loft a new look!
