Fundraising Garage Sale: July 30-Aug 1

Red Lake Rosie's Rescue Fundraising Garage Sale: Wednesday, July 30 through Friday, Aug 1 from 8:00 - 5:00 in Blaine.

We will hold our third annual fundraising garage sale in just 5 weeks, the week following RAVS. We need to raise funds to pay a salary to Benay, a very committed animal lover, to stay at Karen's and take care of her animals and RLRR while Karen has surgery on her feet. Benay will stay at Karen's for 10 weeks while she has surgery and recovers starting some time in Sept/Oct.

Thanks to Crystal who has a friend in Blaine who has agreed to have it at her place. We can take items there 2 weeks ahead of the sale.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:
1) Donations: Household, glassware, guy stuff, collectibles, art, sports, games/toys, crafts, holiday, electronics, small appliances, books/tapes/movies, baby items, kid/adult clothes, furniture. All items in good condition please. Tell your friends and family to start gathering items.
2) Storage: places to store items as we get them if people can't wait until 2 weeks before the sale since we can take them at the sale location.
3) Pick ups: people who can pick up items and deliver them to the storage locations. People who can deliver items to the Blaine sale location.
4) Tables - lot's of tables, maybe borrow form churches, etc.
5) Price marking and set-up: Price items and set up on Tuesday, July 29.
6) Volunteers to work the sale: we need 3 people each day.
7) Tear down: tear down Friday after sale and Saturday morning.
8) Leftover item pick up: Have a donation truck pick up items or take them to donation locations OR to another storage site (someone's garage) if we have a lot of good leftovers. Then we can have another garage sale at another location in September (prices will already be marked so we would just need to set up).

Let me know if you can help and how you can help. I'll reply to messages this weekend. THANK YOU!!!
