Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Donations of items are needed for the upcoming annual Last Resort Cat
Shelter’s Giant Yard Sale. The sale will raise money to help
abandoned and injured cats and kittens. Expenses have increased in
recent years and a successful sale will go a long way towards
continuing to provide excellent care for pets in need. Since 1981, the
shelter on Broadway in Hanover has found homes for more than 11,000
cats and kittens.
Younger members of the Last Resort’s volunteer staff are reviving
the popular annual Giant Yard Sale, hosting it at one of their homes
on Saturday and Sunday, June 23 and 24. In years past, over 100
families donated items to the sale.
They welcome furniture, books and DVDs, costume jewelry, collectibles,
tools, dishes, pots and pans, clothes, small appliances, toys and
games, sporting and exercise equipment, musical instruments, tools and
household items—in short, anything you think will sell and make
money to help pets in need—they’ve even had boats and go-karts
donated in the past! (Please no tires or non-working appliances).
At the site of the sale in Hanson (181 Union Street), a volunteer will
be on hand on the following days to help unload items: Saturday, June
2, Saturday, June 9, and Friday, June 15 – each day from 11:00 a.m.
— 4:00 p.m. You may also leave items at the shelter in Hanover (1126
Broadway) on Saturday, June 2 and Saturday, June 16 – each day from
10:00 a.m. — noon. To leave things at other times, please call Trish
in Hanson at (617) 840-6997, or Joan in Hanover at (781) 826-5610.
Willing to volunteer to work during intake or sale hours? Have a tent
they can borrow? Please contact Joan at (781) 826-5610 or
jnorrisink@verizon.net
. Joan wishes to also extend her thanks to “Around Town on the
Web” readers for their generous response to the call for blanket,
comforter and towel donations earlier this year!
