FY25FUNdraiser – SAVE THE DATES!!

W.U.S. has a long history of fantastic FUNdraisers, and we have more in store!  Our annual budget relies primarily on pledge donations and income from permanent funds managed by our trustees.  But we also rely on annual fundraisers to fill in $20 – $30,000 of our budget that allows us to have strong programming and care for our beautiful building and grounds. 

This year we will reprise our regionally-known Not Your Average Rummage Sale on June 7th, so please save these dates:

Sunday, February 9th 11:45am – 1pm   KICK-OFF meeting – come learn about the many ways to volunteer and choose your team; learn what can be donated, when and how, and see our timeline of preparation.

Saturday, March 15th, 9:30 – 11:00 am Department/team recruitment – many ways to volunteer time, talent and material support; review of timeline and general information.

Sunday, March 30th, 11:45 – 1pm Continued volunteer sign-up; review of timeline and general information.

May 31 – June 6th Set-up and donations drop-off, sorting, display, pricing, chatting, laughing, etc!

We are aware that the February 9th date coincides with newcomer classes.  No worries!  We’ll share information and ways to get involved.

We are excited to build on our previous success and have another great N.Y.A.R.S.!  As we are advancing in age, we look forward to some younger, stronger folks getting involved, especially for moving heavier items. 

Thanks in advance for helping!

Your NYARS Leadership Team: Fritzie Nace, Donna Reed, Susan Walewicz.
