Auxiliary looks for rummage
The Wingham and District Hospital Aux-
iliary is gearing up for their major fund
raising event of the year to be held next
week. The annual rummage sale, to be
held at the Wingham Armouries October
16 and 17, has usually generated "big
money" for the group according to presi-
dent Marie Phillips.
"The rummage sale has been very
sucessful'for us over the years," said Mrs.
Phillips in a phone interview with the Sen-
tinel. "We're tryingsomething a little dif-
ferent this year by opening the doors to the
public on Thursday evening as well as all
day Friday."
Anyone from Lucknow and area with
`rummage' to donate to the sale is asked to
bring it to the Armouries as early as possi-
ble on Thursday. The doors will open to the
public at 6 p.m. and sale goers will have
first choice of items until 9 p.m. Friday,
the doors open for business at 10 a.m, and
will remain open until 3 in the afternoon.
The Hospital Auxiliary is vital to the
overall operation of the Wingham and
District Hospital. Each year, the members
of the organization volunteer many hours
of time and effort to raising money for the
hospital through these rummage sales,
teas, the operation of the gift case in the
hospital lobby and through the sale of
memberships. Last year, the Auxiliary ad-
ded Over $7,000 to the hospital coffers.
Boasting a membership , of some 90
members, the Hospital Auxiliary has high
hopes of increasing their membership in
the Lucknow area this year.
One other note from Mrs. Phillips,
anyone interested in donating handicrafts
or knitting to the gift shop at the hospital
are asked to contact her at 357-1714.
Don't forget to deliver your rummage
for the sale next week and keep Thursday
