Hats Off to Rummage Sale 2026

 

Our hats are off to the collective volunteer effort that went into making our Rummage Sale a success! Kudos to our Rummage Sale Co-Chairs, Jenny Walsh and Gillian Lawrence, and our Rummage Sale Publicity Co-leads, Carla Williams and Kera Beskin.

 

We also want to thank all the volunteers who showed up at any time from April 26-May 2. For those of you on the schedule, your name will appear below once, even though many of you spent time in several areas. For those of you who showed up to help and weren’t on the schedule, we needed your assistance and were grateful that you showed up to help!

 

We are grateful for everyone who stayed to set-up on Sunday led by Cathy Deamant and tear-down on Saturday led by Meredith Haydon: Dominic DiGiovanni, Jay Liddell, Andrea Lee, Karen Brennan, Leslie Piotrowski, Erik Parsons, Michele Herbst, Mags Johnston, Taylor Hobart, Rob Avery, Mike Dickenson, Curtis Evans, and John Hason.

 

We are grateful to Bex Blackmore, who led our lunchtime crew. We were well fed Monday through Friday with soup from Charlott Cottier, Kate Cronin, Barb Butz, Bonnie Dohogne, Lydia Walsh, Hòa Voscott, and Dan Solomon, and service by Carol Nielsen, Kathy Talmage, Michael Skilton, Alice Chrostowski, Merle Gleeson, and Julie Lamberti.

 

Co-led by Jeanne Kerl and Martha Holman, our Café Rummage kept us stocked Friday and Saturday with coffee and baked goods provided by Renee Hoff, Sophia Newman, Susan Carlton, and Ally Gregory.

 

Thank you to our Translators, Margie Rogasner, Kamila Nájera, Rita Rousseau, and Jeanette Gordon, for making the sale an easier experience for more folks in our community.

 

We were grateful for our Lobby Greeters and Cashiers, who provide a welcoming entry and departure for many of our shoppers: Jane Hampson, Lynn Kendall, Toni Rey, Emily Theis, Trudi Davis, Kathy Foulke, Craig Spidle, and Sheila Holder.

 

Thank you to our Support Team, who ran errands between departments, shepherded money to and from the office, unclogged toilets, and in general kept the good vibes floating throughout the building: Bob Mesle, Dave Schroeder, Forrest Marie Peters Linsell, Joe Romeo, Marcy Hicks, Mary Beth Roth, Mike Takada, Sandy Danforth, Sean Talmage, Steve Serikaku, and Susan Talmage.
