GET INVOLVED
The 88th Annual Rummage Sale is coming soon!
This year’s sale is October 7 and 8. Save your donations which will be accepted
Sunday, October 2 through Wednesday noon, October 5. This can be your
summer of “tidying up” so that your treasures may find a new home and be
enjoyed by someone else! Proceeds from the sale go to missions benefiting
women, children, and youth. Again this year, we will only accept and sell
children’s books (NO videos, CD’s or other books). We also do not take
computers or electronics. New this year: we are not taking ANY furniture.
It takes a village to accomplish this annual event; each year we need almost
200 volunteers to help. Plan to volunteer some time during the Sale week
to help set up, work the Sale, or clean up, and bring a friend! Watch for our
Sign-Up Genius website coming soon. Questions? Contact Sydney Whitley,
sparkerwhitley@gmail.com, or Linda Osikowicz, Lmosikowicz@comcast.net.
