New Friends & Neighbors of the Dundee Area, the community women's group, is planning a garage sale to benefit homeless veterans from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, June 2, to Saturday, June 4, at 2442 Smalley Court in West Dundee.

All proceeds will go toward the Sun City Lions Club program to create "starter kits" to help newly placed veterans with supplies necessary for their new home, such as kitchen supplies, small appliances, towels and cleaning supplies.

This women's club began as a Welcome Wagon more than 40 years ago. It is open to any women interested in building friendships through social and charitable activities.

The club has held the Trivia Night at Randall Oaks for three years benefiting FISH Food Pantry; organized members to volunteer at Feed My Starving Children; and gathered for bunco games and monthly luncheons at local restaurants.

They also offer a book club and "Secret Sisters" group, plus more ways to be involved.
