Dress comfortably. We will be assisting us in receiving and sorting a large donation of food.
Spring cleaning = treasure waiting to be found! If your closets, basements, or garages are bursting with goodies you no longer need, don’t toss — turn them into fun (and fundraising)!
What’s happening....On September 19 we’ll be at the Lower Providence Community Yard Sale from 8:00 AM–2:00 PM. Diane Helm will collect gently used, re-sellable items at a Rotary Table to raise funds for the Club. How to help.....Bring your donations to any Rotary meeting by September 10. Want to join the fun on the day? Sign up for a 2-hour shift to chat with shoppers. Share what the Norristown Rotary does, and help sell great finds. Why join....Clear clutter, earn smiles, and support the Club — plus hunting for bargains is half the fun! We already have several Rotary members living in Lower Providence, and we’d love more hands and friendly faces. Questions or want to sign up? Contact Diane or show up at a meeting with your donations by September 10. See you at the sale — let’s make it a community party!
