Week-long garage sale great fundraiser

With one of Maungaturoto’s lifetime residents moving into rest home life, The Den in Bickerstaffe Road has been given the balance of furniture and tools they have accumulated over the years. These have been put into the next garage sale to raise more funds for the planned extensions and dementia wing at the Maungaturoto Community Charitable Trust’s Riverview Rest Home.

The sale will start on September 2 at 9am and run for at least a week. Clean items in good repair will be accepted from the public as well. Call Albie on 027 494 9448 for advice and possible pick up.

A sample of the items so far: treadle potters wheel, water blaster, combination saw bench/buzzer, composter/shredder, small compressor unit, drills, grinders, binoculars, bird watching telescope and a Samsung LED television. There are three single beds in excellent condition, a selection of small solid mahogany tables with cabriole legs, a lounge suite with a three seat sofa and two rocker chairs, a bureau desk, standard and table lamps, a large free-standing mirror, assorted china and dinnerware plus many more items too numerous to mention.

EFTPOS will be available during the weekend.

Since June 1 The Den has raised in excess of $10,000 towards the Riverview upgrades.
