A monster Vintage and Garage Sale held by the Inner Wheel Club of Gosford North has raised $2,815 to help vulnerable families on the Central Coast.
The sale was held on November 26 at a Umina Beach home.
“The home, being on the corner of a major road, was an eye-catching venue attracting many keen customers,” a spokesperson said.
“With saleable quality vintage items such as linen, antique books, pictures and paintings and Australian pottery, interested customers were keen to buy.
“The garage sale items were many and varied, with the ‘leftovers’ going to local charity outlets which included Fairhaven.”
Members of Kariong/Somersby Rotary pitched in to help with transporting and erecting the stalls.
“Inner Wheel and Rotary have a long friendship as both are service clubs and often work together to aid those in need,” the spokesperson said.
The funds raised will be donated to such organisations as: We Care Connect, Lifeline, NG School, Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre and Grandparents Raising Grandchildren.
The Inner Wheel Club of Gosford North is part of an international women’s organisation which creates friendship, service and understanding.
“Our club of 40 friendly ladies meets one a month, has a dinner and morning tea monthly, fundraises through handcraft stalls and fashion parades and supports our national project – Cord Blood Research – through various means,” the spokesperson said.
“Our international theme this year is Work Wonders and that is what we are doing through the friendship of like-minded women working together to make a difference and improve lives.”
