SPRING CLEANING DISCARDS NEEDED FOR TAG SALE FUNDRAISER

Friends of Lee Kellogg School (FOLKS) and the Falls Village Day Care Center ask that when people do their spring cleaning and uncluttering, they help both local organizations by donating their usable items for a colossal cooperative tag sale to be held on the weekend of June 6th and 7th at Lee H. Kellogg School in Falls Village. Donated items, large and small, clean and in good working order, can be dropped off at Kellogg School (on Rt. 126/Main Street) June 2nd through June 5th from 3:30 to 630 p.m.

“This joint-effort tag sale has been a wonderful way for people to contribute to two worthy institutions, without having to purchase a fundraising item or give money,” says Laurie Wadsworth, member of the Day Care board and a FOLKS member.

Items such as furniture, clothing, books, videos, CDs, sports equipment, kitchen and house wares, lawn and garden gear, electronics, hardware, lamps, pottery, artwork, toys and games, etc. are welcome (no large exercise equipment, obsolete electronics, or damaged bulky furniture please). Spring cleaners are asked to set aside a corner of their basement, attic, or garage for tag sale items, adding good condition items that they no longer want or need to the corner pile as they clean. During the first week of June, these prepared items can then be brought to Kellogg School for the Tag Sale.

FOLKS is the volunteer parent and teacher group for Lee H. Kellogg School. The proceeds from the giant tag sale will be used to help support sports and arts programs, field trips, and special equipment purchases for student activities.

Funds raised will also support the Falls Village Day Care Center’s needs such as art supplies, science materials, playground equipment, books, music, toys and games, as well as capital improvements.
