UMW November meeting

UMW meets Saturday, at 10 a.m. at Bertha Brenner's place at 1902 Prospect Ave. Results of the rummage/bake sale will be discussed, and thank offerings collected also.

Rummage/Bake Sale Saturday!

The Aberdeen, SD, UMW will hold a Rummage and Bake Sale tomorrow (Saturday, Oct. 28) from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.). We'll be raffling off a quilt and offering a free room. Just about all clothes will be free,  as well as a few other items.

A whole table of fabric awaits, as well as glassware, kitchenware, car care items. toys, games, hardware, tools, bedding, linens, books and videos.

Plus, the ladies have been baking. Pies, cookies,  pastries, breads and bars await!

Rummage Sale plans

Margaret Rieger expects that by next week, tables should be ready to receive items for the rummage sale. It helps if they are priced first. For the bake sale, we also should price our own goods. Place a label or slip of paper under the plastic wrap stating what the item is, e.g. 6 caramel-candy corn brownies, and the price.

The bread metaphor continued in the meeting today. Members took turns reading portions of the lesson and scripture. Beverly McComsey gave a mission moment on a school in Sierra Leone that UMW has kept going since the late 1800s, a school for girls. When girls are educated, the entire culture is helped.

Bertha Brenner gave the devotional about sunsets and gratitude.

The next meeting will be at Bertha's house. Saturday, a birthday party will be at Health and Rehab after the Gyspy Day parade, at 2 p.m.

Rummage and Bake Sale

Aberdeen Faith UMW will hold a rummage and bake sale Saturday, Oct. 29, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the church. For now, we need people to bring non-clothing rummage, pre-priced (preferably with masking tape, which sticks better than the round stickers).

You can bring your items to the church dining hall where it will be arranged on tables. We will feature a "free" room with clothing items.  Because we have so many clothing items left over from the last sale, we aren't asking for addition clothes, just non-clothing rummage articles.

There will also be -- during the final two hours of the sale, a bag sale.

Mark your calendars!

What are we looking for? We can use furniture, appliances, collectibles, household items, kitchenware, linens, tools, CDs, Christmas and holiday items, costumes or fabric and sewing items, travel items, accessories, musical instruments, artwork and anything else you think might sell well.

Because the church kitchen floor is still under construction, we will not be doing any hot dish cooking, but we will bring baked goods to sell.

For more information, contact Margaret Rieger 725-9346 or Donna Seaton 225-3192.
