Event Organizer: Jenn and company
Topic: fundraising garage sale

Got spring cleaning fever? Have some things you need to clear out and also want to help out the awesome club you’re a member of?

In a fundraising effort to keep this club going (yup, we have expenses and are broke), we will host a garage sale at my place (address to be later revealed). We are looking for any, quality items to sell and all proceeds will go to the club. If you have any books, outdoor gear, knick-knacks, housewares, or anything else, email me and we can arrange for a drop off.

The more stuff, the more we will profit, which translates to more perks for you!

Let’s make some money!!

Don’t have any items but still want to help out? You can donate here:
