FROM  patio sales to star gazing,  old time disco dancing,  Jazz and Film festivals and  murder mystery dinner theatre, to classical concerts and ballet, 2016 promises to be another entertainment packed year in Panama, with  Newsroom presenting regular advance coverage of most events.

But before marking  off your calendar take the opportunity to do a little closet cleaning.

The Balboa Union Church (BUC) Annual  Patio sale is just around the corner which makes for good  timing as you head to the storage room to pack away the Christmas decorations  until next December.

While there you might want to cast your eye over some of the household items that have been out of sight and mind, and create some space for your newly acquired seasonal baubles.

You can also take a look in your closet for any clothing items’ including shoes, in good condition that would welcome a new home.

They will  all be welcomed by the Church and can be delivered  any  weekday except  Wednesday  from 9am to 4 pm  4pm or contact the Church office 314-1004

The sale is on Saturday January 30, from 8 am.
