Every year the Men's and Women's Club at Our Lady of the Lake work together to make the Annual Yard Sale a huge fundraiser for our parish.  We collect many items and then sort, price, and prepare them for the big day.  It takes many volunteers to make this happen!  Look for this to occur in June each year!

A note about the June 2024 Yard Sale...​

​

The annual OLL Yard Sale, our second largest fundraiser, was held on Saturday June 22nd and after the masses on the 22nd and on the 23rd until 12:30 PM.  We had the best results ever across the board! We had nice weather and an excellent turnout of customers and volunteers, along with a very good inventory of donated items for sale thanks to many generous parishioners.  We further streamlined the collection of donations down to 2 weeks, allowing us to fully process and price items as they came in; which improved efficiency, reduced workload, and enhanced fellowship for all.

 

The financial results set a new record and these proceeds will help fund our worthy causes which support parish needs and our youth. This outstanding result was achieved through the hard work and contributions of many, including our Women’s Club partners.  Please thank them when you see them. 

 

We want to specifically acknowledge and thank the Men’s Club volunteers for all that they contributed.  This includes setting-up, doing pick-ups and deliveries, processing and pricing drop-offs, working the sale, and helping with the clean-up. The Men’s Club really stepped up in force and performed tremendously well as a team; something we can all be proud of.  We certainly proved once again that “many hands make light work”.  Things went smoothly; the clean-up was very quick and efficient, as we put many nice items back into the local community through the nearby donation center that we brought them to; the results were excellent; and we enjoyed each other’s company in the process. 

 

As you can see from the final sign-up sheets for Drop-Offs and Pick-Ups, some Men's Club volunteers helped out on multiple days.  We hope that even more of you will be able to join us next year by taking advantage of at least one of the many opportunities to help out as listed on these sheets. 

 

Special recognition goes out to Donnie Jameson, Michael Jameson, Mark Jameson, and the youth who are working around the church campus this summer; namely, Jack Coletti, Sofie Kasten, Duke Molinaro, Sandro Motta, Caden Muskus, Tyler Strenk, and RG Woods.  They were a great help with a wide variety of items including setting up, picking up, and cleaning up.  Please thank them when you see them. 

   

We apologize if we inadvertently omitted anyone.  Please let us know if we did and we’ll send out a correction.  You are all very much appreciated.

 

We had a great year, which gives us a firm foundation to build upon and improve even further for next year with all your help!  Again, a heartfelt thank you to all!
