Thursday, April 6, 2006 — One Millsberry resident made the purchase of a lifetime at the Millsberry Community Center's Donation Center this week. After months of dedicatedly combing through piles of donated items, Gisela Romero finally uncovered the goldmine she'd been searching for.

"I come to the Donation Center all the time to drop off my extra things," Gisela, of Metro Park, told the Gazette, "and I always browse through the other donations while I'm there. They usually have good deals on items, but I never thought I'd find something like this!"

Gisela's miraculous find was a Lucky Charms® bracelet, something she'd been searching for at yard sales for months. "I was so excited. I'd been looking all over Millsberry for one of these bracelets, so it was a bit of a shock to find it at the Donation Center. I got a great price for it, too - just a few hundred Millsbucks!"

Mr. Balint, Director of Donations, was pleased to hear of Gisela's find, but stated that he wasn't surprised. "The Donation Center is a wonderful resource for citizens who are looking for special items," Mr. Balint said. "I am very thankful for the generosity of all the Millsberry residents who've donated their rare items to the Donation Center, and I'd like to encourage everyone to come down and browse through our selection. You'll not only be helping your community, but you just might also find that very special item youve been seeking! We are happy to give public credit to contributors, but donations may remain anonymous at the contributor's request."

Miss Romero said that she plans on returning to the Donation Center very soon. "I love my new bracelet, but my friend's birthday is coming up, so I'm still on the lookout for more great deals! I have also started donating more often to the Community Center myself - I love the feeling of helping others by donating things I no longer need, and maybe someone else will find their dream purchase, too!"
