Rummage and Bake Sale
by Judy Kirchoff
| | |
Immanuel Lutheran’s last rummage sale was in 2018 so we should anticipate a large sale! Plans are “springing” ahead for May 1st & 2nd and we hope that many closets and drawers are being down-sized for this sale. Please note the items, on the previous page that are not accepted and PLEASE bring only useable clothing, linens and housewares.
Most clothing and other items will sell for $1.00 except for furniture and more valuable items which will be marked separately. We will once again have the “Oval Room,” located in the fireside room, to display specialty items, glassware and clothing.
Donations will be accepted beginning on Monday, April 28th at 8am. Please bring them to the south door near the custodial room and nursery. Please do NOT drop off items in the fellowship area unless you have made prior arrangements for furniture. The hours for drop off are Monday and Tuesday from 8am-5pm and on Wednesday from 8am-noon.

Our Rummage Sale has always been a wonderful community event. We will need many volunteers to make this a success. Jill DeCent will be in charge of the Bake Sale. Members of ILC are asked to contribute a baked food item, if possible, on Wednesday afternoon or by noon on Thursday. All monies from the bake sale will be given to the Youth.
Volunteers, men and women, are needed to set up the tables, metal clothing pipes and ceiling signs on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, items from the church pews need to be placed on the tables and hangers, and your help is needed throughout the sale to organize and straighten clothing, etc.
| | |
On Friday, 2pm-4pm there will be a brown bag sale for $3.00. Men are also needed at 4pm at the sale’s end to help with clean-up and to pack large bags of clothing for the DAV. Their organization will once again welcome these unsold clothing items and linens.
Thank you in advance for your participation in this sale. If you have questions and are able to volunteer your time, please notify us.
