Volunteers Needed for SNAP's Mega Rummage Sale on July 15th and 16th

As the John Mark Stallings Special Needs Accessible Playground (SNAP) project begins its third and final phase, a mega rummage sale will be conducted in less than two weeks! This is a wide-spread announcement of the event, seeking hundreds of customers and dozens of volunteers. I hope you'll be able to participate in both capacities by buying treasures for yourself and your loved ones, and remaining with us to help conduct the event. Please help pass the word by forwarding this information to anyone you know and publishing it in any media available.

The highly visible location is at the intersection of U.S. Highway 31 and Nanceford Road, SW, Hartselle. That's the former site of a credit union and bank, next door to the Sparkman Civic Center. That's also where we have two 53' long storage containers filled with a large variety of goods needing new homes. The containers are full, so we ask that anyone still having items to donate bring them on Thursday afternoon or early Friday morning.

The schedule below reflects sale times and periods during which volunteers are needed. The Splash Pad will be open from 8 AM until 8 PM, so children can play while the adults do the shopping!
