9TH ANNUAL LA LECHE LEAGUE & BIRTH CIRCLE YARD SALE!!!

Friday, August 23 from 9am to 1pm AND

Saturday, August 24 from 8am to 3pm

Our big yard sale is coming up soon.  It's a fun event and a great opportunity to get rid of things you no longer need and load up on those you do.  We'll have tons of baby & kids clothes, toys and gear, maternity items, household items, furniture, electronics and more.   All proceeds benefit La Leche League and The Birth Circle!

Here's how you can help:

DONATE:

Donations accepted in Molly's garage at 25 S. May Ave (please note, she's moved - this is a different address than last year).  Donations accepted after 5pm on Saturday August 17 or anytime thereafter leading up to the sale.  Due to limited space, we will not be accepting adult clothing this year unless it's maternity.  It is super helpful if you are able to group and label donated items (for example, "boys 2T"), and place them in garage according to signs on tables.

SHARE:

We are in need of tables, tarps, and sun shades/canopies to facilitate the sale.  If you are willing to loan, please contact Angela (info below) or drop off items in Molly's garage labeled with your name and phone number.

VOLUNTEER:

We're looking for some awesome volunteers! Help needed to sort and organize items for the sale on Wednesday & Thursday, to work shifts on Friday & Saturday, to distribute flyers around town announcing sale, to make & put up signs directing people to the sale.

If you are able to help in any way or have questions, please let me know.  Thanks!
