Hello to the PATCH Community!&nbsp;&nbsp;
I hope to get help to&nbsp;find&nbsp;the woman who bought my Grandma's handmade crocheted golden mustard yellow color&nbsp;shawl last weekend.&nbsp;
I was a booth seller at the Pacheco Community Center parking lot rummage&nbsp;sale last Sat 4/20/24 from 8-2pm.
 I was still setting up and feeling overwhelmed with emotions&nbsp;trying to clear out many sentimental&nbsp;family items.
Sadly, I&nbsp;sold my Grandma's handmade crocheted knit Shawl. It's a short open front shawl/poncho style,&nbsp;golden mustard yellow color yarn with 2-4 crocheted buttons on the front.&nbsp;I don't know&nbsp;why I sold it,&nbsp;but I greatly regret it and&nbsp;really HOPE to find the woman who bought it, so I can buy&nbsp;it back. If it helps...this person also bought a set of vintage orange and blue floral&nbsp;Twin size Cannon bed sheets. I don't have a photo of the shawl as it&nbsp;was in&nbsp;a storage box from my mom's house prior to this sale.&nbsp;
I'm&nbsp;so very sad about this, now more than ever after my mom's passing.&nbsp;
If you know someone who attended this sale, please share this.
I truly HOPE the woman who bought my Grandma's Shawl will find this article and contact the Pacheco Community Center.&nbsp;Thank you so VERY much.

RE: URGENT! Pacheco Community Parking Lot Sale...

RE: URGENT! Pacheco Community Parking Lot Sale held Sat. 4/20/2024

While addressing a rally at Nanded in Maharashtra, without taking names, the Prime Minister said some INDIA bloc leaders who have been members of the Lok Sabha for several years, have left the Lower House of Parliament and found a seat in the Rajya Sabha as they have no confidence to contest elections. " During a zoom meeting of 168 NRI Associations of USA and Canada, hosted by Indus Foundation, it was suggested if BJP wins and Narender Modi becomes a 3rd Timer PM, he should introduce a Bill in Parliament to Permanently Abolish "Rajya Sabha", which was formed for Princely States after 1947 Partition and have a very Transparent Lok Sabha conduct India's system, just like the USA", said Vikram Bajwa, president Indus Foundation.
We have written to PMO on this matter, said Ramesh Duggal of NFIAA., "Rajya Sabga is a burden on the tax payers of India, said Manbir Dhillon of Toronto, FIA. " Sonia Gandhi is not the only leader, even BJP Arun Jaitley, Former PM Dr. Manmohan Singh were Rajya Sabha members, said BJPOverseas Subhas Goyal of Vancouver. 
"Whatever claims these people make, the truth is that Congress leaders have already accepted defeat even before the announcement of elections. This is the very reason that a few of their leaders, who used to contest and win Lok Sabha seats, have this time entered through the Rajya Sabha route," PM Modi said. "For the first time, the family will not vote for a Congress candidate in the constituency where they live as there is no party candidate there," he added. Senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi was elected unopposed to Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan. This is her first stint in the Upper House after serving 6 terms in Lok Sabha. This is will be the first time that Sonia would not contest in the Lok Sabha election since entering politics nearly two-and-a-half decades ago. Sonia had penned a letter to the voters of Rae Bareli announcing that she will not contest Lok Sabha polls due to health concerns. Sonia has won the Rae Bareli seat five times since 1999. In 2019, Rae Bareli was the only seat won by Congress in Uttar Pradesh. The Prime Minister criticized the opposition's INDIA bloc, stating that the alliance lacks a face to project and that people are uncertain about entrusting the country's future to them. He described the alliance as a group of selfish individuals who have united to protect their corrupt practices. PM Modi pointed out that the INDIA bloc partners were fighting each other for 25 per cent of the Lok Sabha seats, questioning their ability to govern effectively after the election. "If this is the situation now, what will they do after the election?" PM Modi said. The Prime Minister appealed to voters to come out in large numbers to exercise their voting right in the Lok Sabha elections.
