We are forging ahead with Rummage 2022, so please save the date for Saturday, April 9 from 8am to 1pm.
Donation drop off runs from Monday, March 7 through Monday, April 4 in the lower garage of the gym across the street from the church.
As always, we need sorters during the week or after church on Sundays in March, and lots of people to set up the gym April 6-8. Interested in jobs not inside the gym? Let’s talk about other tasks we need to have done like dropping off at GoodWill, washing/polishing dishware for display, pricing/sorting jewelry, for example. We would love to have a list of people to call on for one-off tasks.
Thank you for keeping this important community-builder and fundraiser part of St. Patrick’s life. We can’t fund important outreach without this event. Email Karen Melchar with any questions.
