Hello Everyone,
Although the 2011 Walk 'n Roll seems like it's a long way off, we are already doing some planning for the Raffle. Every year, companies tighten their purse strings and it is becoming increasingly more difficult to elicit donations. So---we're going to attempt to fund additional raffle prizes through a garage sale. We did this on a small scale last year, and even in its limited scope, it was quite successful. By expanding our efforts we may be able to supplement donation prizes for several years at a time.
We're hoping that you may want to do some fall "de-cluttering" and donate items. We're looking for used treasures in good shape - those you wouldn't hesitate to buy yourself. Toys are always big sellers. Other things such as household goods, tools, decorative items, and sporting goods sell well, too. All furniture, except upholstered pieces, would be welcome. Unfortunately, due to space constraints, we won't be able to take clothing or bedding. Remember that the ugly statue Aunt Bertha gave you for Christmas may be just the thing to grace some one else's mantle. And you won't feel guilty unloading-er-donating it because it's going to a great cause!
The sale will be held on October 1st & 2nd at 1705 Fox Tail Chase Drive, New Richmond, Ohio (Marilyn's house). You may contact Marilyn Pater (payday11@aol.com) or Gloria Logeman (Mlogeman@aol.com) for drop off information or directions. Donations will be accepted from 9-24 to 9-28. We'll need time after that to organize and price all those priceless treasures.
Feel free to bring friends and family and shop 'til you drop!
Thanks in advance,
Marilyn and Gloria
