The Coffee Gallery, 2029 N. Lake, is renewing its permits with the county this month, and is looking to raise funds to do it (you need to sell a lot of cups of coffee to raise $20,000).  There's already a benefit concert scheduled for Feb. 8, and this Saturday, there will be a rummage sale at the Gallery.

The "Got Parking" sale hopes to raise the $8,270 needed to pay for the parking variance on Lake Avenue.  Coffee Gallery coffee shop owner Julie Sandoval is looking for lots of donations and some volunteers to help out with the sale, which will be from 7 AM-4 PM.

The Gallery is accepting items for the sale (drop 'em off and they'll handle them).  To volunteer or donate items please contact Julie  at (626)831-8285.
