Events at St. Francis de Sales
ANNUAL GIANT YARD SALE
OCTOBER 24 AND 25
This year’s Yard Sale will be held on Saturday, October 24, 8:00am-1:30pm and Sunday, October 25, 8:00am-1:45pm in Driscoll hall and the parish center. We need your help in making this event a big success. Please start going through your basements and attics for gently used items such as collectibles, toys, games, electronics, home goods, CD’s and DVD’s, tools and furniture. We also feature a jewelry table. All types of jewelry are needed.
ITEMS WE CANNOT ACCEPT
We will not be accepting the following items: motor vehicle tires, large overstuffed sofas, pull out sleeper sofas, mattresses, knives, car seats, clothing, stuffed animals, pillows, microwaves, air conditioners, TV’s, computers (no E-Waste please), pressure cookers, encyclopedias, text books, magazines, scrapbooks and large dictionaries. We can only accept exercise equipment and electronic items that are in good working condition.
Remember the saying “someone’s junk is someone else’s treasure?” However, we are looking for items that can be sold, not items that will go directly into a dumpster because they are broken, unusable or not clean. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
