Donate Yard Sale Items for Rotary Youth Exchange
 
Brenda and Thom are having a yard sale from June 22nd to 24th.  They are willing to host the sale of any donated items to raise funds for Rotary Youth Exchange.
 
Members can begin donating things as early as this next meeting.  Brenda and Thom expect to have ample car space.
 
Items can also be dropped off directly at 6916 Frank Lloyd Wright Avenue in Middleton.  If no one is home they can be left on the porch.
 
Donated items should be in good working order.  Items that do not sell will be donated to St. Vincent's, Goodwill, Mom, or Easter Seals depending on which group will offer pickup.
