Reminder - October 3rd - Yard Sale and Kids Safety Fair!
Craft and Consignment Sale!
Yes it is a bit ambitious - but the payoff will be a great family-oriented event to raise needed funds for First Unitarian! We will run our sale in coordination with Wesley Methodist. John Mirick and Joonu Coste are co-coordinating this event. Please connect with either of us with your ideas and to volunteer!
First - We need volunteers for this undertaking.
Please let us know if you can help out. My promise to you - this will be fun and highly rewarding!

Here are the ways you can participate and help make this a successful fundraiser.
DONATIONS - Clearing the clutter from your home? Moving? Downsizing? Save your items and bring them to church with you in September for donation to the church yard sale. There will be drop-off points in the church for collection starting September 13th. We request that item donations are clean, in working order, and that you tag and price each item. We will not be accepting items that cost money for disposal (i.e. computer monitors, mattresses, etc...). Additionally, we will not be able to accept items that require two people to move them.
CONSIGNMENT - We will also sell items at the yard sale on consignment. These are items that will sell for $20 or more. Please contact the church office at office@firstunitarian.com for more information.
CRAFTERS/VENDORS - Would you like to rent space at the yard sale for your business to set up a table to sell items? We offer this opportunity to First U members first. Please contact the church office at office@firstunitarian.com for more details.
KID'S SAFETY FAIR - Working in coordination with the RE Committee and Lay Leadership, we will offer Kid's ID kits with fingerprinting by the Worcester police and photos - by donation - as well as some fun games and activities for kids. We are looking for volunteers to help out that day with this. Interested? Please connect with Sierra-Marie, our RE Director or Joonu Coste.
