Cat Rescue Network Fundraising Event - Great Glebe Garage Sale - May 28, 2011
We have never done this before but thankfully we have a volunteer who has agreed to coordinate this event for us. This event will be a big undertaking so we hope you will be able to help us out.
The first thing we need is for you to go through your cupboards, basements and attics for those “no longer used” items taking up space and collecting dust. Below is a list of "stuff" we could use and all we ask is that all items are in good condition and good working order.
The second thing we need are volunteers to help us on for the day of the event. This is an all day affair so we have set up three shifts. If you would like to help us on the sales tables please let us know which shift you would like to cover.
Early Bird Shift - 6:30 am to 10:30 am
Mid Morning Shift - 10: 00 am to 2:00 pm
Afternoon Shift - 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm
The set up crew will have to get to the site very, very early to reserve a "spot", deliver the “stuff” and set up the tables, so we will be in the Glebe by 5:30 a.m. Ugh! 
You’re welcome to join us if you are a very early riser, just let us know...
"Stuff" we need for the sale
Books - CD’s - DVD’s - VHS Tapes
Shoes - Handbags - Costume jewellery
Baby Clothes - Toys & other baby items (no car seats or cribs)
Linens - Dishes- glasses - Pictures (framed or not) - Picture frames
Small appliances - other electrical stuff - lamps
Sorry, we don’t need clothing items as we are told they just don't sell at these events.
Please remember to make sure everything is in good condition and good working order (especially important for electrical items as people will not be able to try them out).
If you can let us know if you have "stuff" to donate we will let you know where & when you can drop it off. The coordinating committee will need time to price all the donated items before the sale so the sooner we can get it the better... We are hoping to get as much "stuff" in by April 30th so we can start pricing
If you can help with a shift and/or you have "stuff" to donate please contact me at dorothy.bell@3web.net.
Please share this with your friends, family and colleagues, maybe they have “stuff” they would like to donate too...
As a friend of CRN you can help make this fundraising event a success by donating, volunteering or by just coming out to see us on May 28th. Look for us on Fifth Ave between Bank and Lyon. Maybe you can pick up a bargain or two...
Thank you all for your continued support of Cat Rescue Network and the stray, abandoned and feral cats and kittens in the Ottawa area.
