Second hand jewelry sale fundraiser to benefit CABMN youth programs in Mansonville
The Missisquoi North Volunteer Centre (CABMN) in Potton will be hosting a second hand jewelry, purse, scarf and miscellaneous sale at the Youth Centre (282 Rue Principale, Mansonville), on Saturday, Oct. 5 from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. to raise money for its weekly Youth Programs for youth ages 5 and up.
“We have had many donations come in over the summer,” said Eleanor Cote, Youth Services Team Member. “The new donations add to the stock we have and this makes for a great sale full of both variety and bargains.”
The fall sale always includes a large Bake Sale table animated by members of the Former Youth Involvement (FYI) group who are raising money each year for the Youth Centre’s Annual Haunted House (a major event in October). The baking is donated and sold and this allows for new themes, decorations and treats to be purchased by the group of FYI volunteers who organize and animate this event. There is normally baking and canning items for sale so, if you are not a jewellery kind of person, stop by for some homemade treats of all kinds.
Thanks to the generosity of those who have donated jewellery, purses, scarves, movies, music and household items, the Jewellery Sale fundraisers have brought in over $500 dollars each sale and therefore have raised thousands of dollars over the years for youth programs that include: dance, leadership, boxing, dance, crafts, sports and more….as well as for the Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) Chapter in existence in Potton for over thirty years! This is a group that builds leaders and encourages community involvement.
“We always welcome more donations of items,” said Ethan Ball who also works as a Youth Services Team Member at the Centre. “What one may find out of date is often seen as a vintage treasure to someone else,” he added.
The Centre is not accepting clothing but is mainly looking for jewellery, purses, and scarves in good condition as well as small household items... If you have something to donate and would like it to be picked up, call the Youth Centre at 450-292-4886 or the CABMN Main Office at 450-292-3114. All donations of items are appreciated.
So, mark the date on your calendar folks! It is a great place to pick up stocking stuffers or something for you. Please share the date with family and friends as all are welcome at the Youth Centre. For more information visit www.cabmn.org
