Customers can come preview the items beforehand (in fact, it’s essential to do so), and then can come prepared to bid on whatever strikes their fancy. The Martins are looking for clients with items to sell on consignment that then can be sold at auction. So if you have things around that need a new home, and you think they could be valuable, consider an auction. If nothing else, you can drop by the store to find out what kind of fun Laurence and Sally are having. You might meet someone from Norway or Singapore, who’s just there for the day. And you will probably come away with something too. That’s just the way things are. • The Neptunian Woman’s Club of Manhattan Beach will be undertaking two important fundraising events during December. One will be a bake sale Sunday, December 14, just prior to the annual Christmas fireworks on the Manhattan Beach pier, The proceeds from the sale will go to the local Roundhouse Aquarium so that it can continue its programs related to teaching people about the oceans, marine life, and the environment.

In addition, the women will be available at the Manhattan Beach Village Shopping Center (3200 North Sepulveda Boulevard) to make your Christmas presents look special.

The booth will be open most days from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. from December 6 through December 24. The cost for the wrapping is dependent on the size of the package.
