Rummage sale begins today

The Catholic Newman Center is sponsoring a rummage sale for students, faculty and staff Friday and Saturday.

Father Bill Petro is helping organize the first rummage sale at the center in 10 years.

"This fund-raiser helps us prepare for the 30th anniversary of the Marshall Catholic community," he said. "The celebration of our anniversary begins next year.

"We are offering students the first chance to come and purchase the many items we have for sale."

Sixty-five families have contributed to the rummage sale, which begins at 6 p. m. Friday.

Petro said this would be a good opportunity for students to socialize with other members of the community.

Some of the items that have been donated to the Newman Catholic Center are three computers, furniture, books, videos, household and kitchen items, a corner desk, and a day bed.

In addition to the second day of the rummage sale, the center is having a hot dog and bake sale from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
