St. Ann's Garage Sale

St. Ann's Women's Guild organizes the annual St. Ann's Parish Garage Sale.  The generous donations received and hard work of many volunteers generate a substantial return, 70% of which stays in the parish itself, while 30% is contributed to community charities.

The next SALE dates are March 24, 25, and 26, 2011.  We will be COLLECTING donated items beginning Saturday March 19 through Monday March 21st.  March 22nd we sort and price items, Wednesday March 23rdh is the Volunteer Pre-Sale and then Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are the actual sale dates open to the public.

In order to make this happen we need LOTS OF HELP setting up and taking down tables and shelves in the Parish Center and Gym; sorting and displaying the tons of goodies our parishioners donate; assisting shoppers; cleaning up at the end.

We gladly verify Confirmand and High School student service hours, we just ask that students and teenagers come with and work side by side their adult supervisors as we are very busy and cannot keep a close eye on them. Men are extremely welcome and needed as many of the items are heavy and we help those who donate unload their cares as well as our buyers load their cars.

Please, donate your clean, usable treasures that need a new home and volunteer your time and talent to make the Garage Sale successful.  St. Ann's needs you!
