Playground Fundraiser

Satuday, September 26!
Garage Sale and Bottle Drive!

We will be holding a large garage sale here at the Co-op. We need donations of items for sale as well as volunteers to man the tables. If you have anything to donate, there is an area marked off at unit 12 on the Kneller Road side.

To allow the kids to help (since this is THEIR playground) we will also be having a bottle and coin drive. We need kids to volunteer to go door to door within the nearby community. (please have your child wear their Let Them Be Kids shirts, if they did not receive one, ask Marie). You will be provided with maps so that no area is doubled up on. Adults and teens are asked to volunteer to chaperone, drive or sort the bottles for return.



It will also be National Let Them Be Kids Day!
Check out the Let Them Be Kids website to share how you will bring a laugh, a smile or the joy of play to a child. Volunteering to help with our fundraiser would be a great way!
