This Sunday, Aug. 10th, we will move the chairs and other items out of the Hall and place them in the Noah’s Ark Space. All the rummage items in the Noah’s Ark Space along with everything already in the Hall will be placed on tables and areas for display and purchasing. We need plenty of help. We need YOU.

Also, we need:

  1. The donation of your clean, sell-able items (PLEASE NO electronic equipment such as televisions, computers and monitors)
  2. Clean newspaper for wrapping glass and fragile items
  3. Clean plastic and/or paper bags
  4. More folding tables

These items can be brought in any time. Place these items near Manny’s office. Please remember to mark your tables with your name.

RUMMAGE SALE This Weekend: St Nick’s Knacks in Elk Grove Village IL

Our Annual Rummage Sale will take place on Friday, August 17 and Saturday, August 18, from 9AM to 3PM both days.

This is our major fundraiser for the year, and we need all hands on deck to make it a success.  How can you help?  We need:

  • Everyone to spread the word.  Go to our Facebook page and “join” the event and share with your friends. 
  • People to  let Manny know when they can spend an hour or two Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday of the week of the sale to continue to organize and price.  
  • Everyone to sign up to volunteer on the dates of the sale.  We simply can’t have enough volunteers.  We  need cashiers for the main table and boutique room, floor walkers, greeters, baggers/wrappers. Click this link to sign up online.

Thank you, in advance!  The sale is a wonderful community-builder, and an opportunity to welcome people to St. Nicholas.  We guarantee you’ll have fun!  Most importantly, the whole idea is that everyone participate, however that’s possible for each person.

Upcoming Events in August – Family Fun and RUMMAGE SALE

The Trouble With Angels, starring Rosalind Russel and Hailey Mills

Come one, come all. In August, we will have three scheduled, community gatherings. On August 3rd, Friday night, 6:30pm, we will have another Movie Night. This month’s feature film will be the 1966 hit, “The Trouble With Angels,” starring Rosalind Russell. Bring along some pop and munchies; your favorite sandwiches and pizza will be provided. The movie is rated “G” for General Audience and is certainly a fun family feature.

On August 17 and 18, a Friday and Saturday, we will hold our annual St. Nicholas Rummage Sale. We will definitely need “all hands on deck” for this event. Start gathering your unwanted items to bring in. Ideally, we ask donations to be brought in starting around August 1st. Holy Innocents Hall will be the site for the sale, which also spills out into the Gathering Space and into the office area. We will start setting up the Hall on Monday,
August 13th. Plan ahead to see if you have any time to help set up, assist at the sale and to help clear things out on Saturday afternoon. 4:30 Liturgy follows immediately after.

On August 31st, Friday night, 6:30pm, we will have a Crafts and Games Night. Bring your favorite craft to work on and perhaps teach others. Bring your domino set to play “train.” Depending if we have enough material, we can make more Prayer Blankets. Or, just bring along some munchies to share as we play, chit-chat and enjoy the company of one another. Coffee and cookies will be available, and if you’d like bring along some pizza, that’s fine, too.

Sign-up sheets will be posted to get an idea of how many to expect for the social gatherings and a volunteer sheet will be posted for the rummage sale. Remember, all are welcome.
