Rimrock Humane Society's 4th Annual Rummage Sale a Huge Success
The
doors of the Roundup Community Center opened at 9:00 a.m. on Friday,
May 20th to a huge cornucopia of treasures available to the eager buyer.
The gymnasium where this event is held every year was burgeoning with
donated items, more than any previous year.
”We
are just thrilled with the community’s reaction to our sale”,
Sandy Church, President of the Humane Society stated. “Not only
with the amount of donations this year but also the number of people
who attended and purchased items”.
There
were not only a large array of used items but brand new giftware donated
by Jorgenson Drug and Morning Grind plus four huge racks of brand new
clothes donated by Dud’s & Designs as well. “Folks really
like the new items”, Church said “and we cannot thank these
local merchants enough for their belief in our cause.”
After the doors were shut on Saturday evening, a whopping $5,200 was
raised and will be applied toward their building fund aptly named, Operation
Homeward Bound. This figure was $1,000 over last years total!!!
Volunteers worked tirelessly from Sunday the 15th
through the end of the sale; sorting, organizing and pricing the items.
“None of this would be possible without the cooperation of the
community and our many dedicated volunteers. To all of you, the Rimrock
Humane Society thanks you from the bottom of our hearts!” Every
year the event gets bigger and the Rimrock gang looks forward to next
year’s 5th annual sale with optimism and hope.
