Rummage Sale Update: March 25, 2022
When is the Rummage Sale?
- Friday, 5/20/22 from 9 am – 6 pm
- Saturday, 5/21/22 from 9 am – 1 pm
What is the format? How will it be different from previous sales?
Rummage sale veterans told the planning group that, although they loved the sense of community surrounding their volunteering in years past, the workload has become too burdensome. The new rummage format is a streamlined version of the way we used to do it. The sale categories have been narrowed down to those yielding the highest sales and the sale will be inside the building (first floor only/no basement sales.)
Our theme this year is “share the work”
This means that we are all joining in as a congregation to make this the most successful, easy to manage and interactive event as possible as we transition from the traditional sale to this new, condensed version.
- Share the work by donating items. A list of specific items and our requirements will be forthcoming in a direct email to our congregation. Drop off will begin at 3 pm after the annual meeting on May 15 until 7 pm. Drop-off time will resume on Monday from 9 am – 8 pm.
- Share the work by making sure all clothing is in really good condition, clean and ON HANGERS which will be provided by UCE weeks leading up to the sale.
- Share the work by volunteering in whatever capacity you can. Click here to sign up.
- Share the work by volunteering to stay after the annual meeting to help transform the sanctuary from worship to rummage sale. Set up time during the week will begin Tuesday through Thursday evening with the sale on Friday and Saturday.
For questions about the sale, please contact Co-Chairs Lynn Kendall at lynn.kendall@gmail.com or Margaret Schatz at mesharbor@gmail.com.
Let’s make this fundraiser a huge success. Let’s “Share the Work”.
