Bust that Clutter! With Judy Chamney

Do you have piles of junk in closets and attics and garages? Papers stacked up? Magazines from the '90s that bored you back then? Are you saving those '80s dresses for something special? Are you really going to sell all those weird gifts you've received over the last decade on eBay?

If this sounds even vaguely familiar, then "Bust that Clutter" is for you.

Join us for a lively discussion in which Judy Chamney will help to explain why we accumulate clutter and how to get rid of it.
