Foodland parking lot is destination for giant garage sale
On
Saturday, May 23 you can buy a luminary to support Relay For Life,
but you can also purchase a used book, blueberry muffins, and perhaps
a hot-air popcorn maker and a DVD of an old movie.
The
Rummage For Relay event is scheduled for May 23, 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. in
the Foodland parking lot on Dundas Street.
This
is not the first time Relay For Life in Woodstock has hosted a
massive garage sale, but now it's a province-wide effort for most
Relay events – a chance to raise money for your personal goal or
for your team for the Canadian Cancer Society.
The
motto for Relay is: Ready? Set. Relay!
The
motto for Relay Rummage Sale is: Ready. Set. Shop.
Each
team or participant in the rummage sale is asked to contact the CCS
office at 65 Springbank Ave North by Friday, May 15 to
register. Call Liz Wismer-VanMeer at (519) 537-5592.
Maybe
your team wants to organize kids' games, or host a barbecue. Lots of
possibilities will combine to make this a successful event again this
year. Sign up your team for a baking sale, flower sales, used garage
sale items, gently-worn clothes or gently read books or DVDs.
LUMINARY
The
Relay committee selling and promoting luminaries will also be present
that day. The price of a luminary is $5 to either honour someone who
has passed away from cancer, or to recognize a cancer survivor.
The
May 22-23 two-day span will also be a local blitz for luminary sales
at: Relay Rummage Sale, but also at Zehr's, Scott's No Frills,
Walmart, Food Basics and Sobeys.
