Church rummage sale raises $52,000

From California-

Assuring a smooth transition to new management, more than $52,000 was raised by this past weekend’s 12th annual Grace Episcopal Church rummage and estate sale.

Funds derived from the event, titled “Not Your Mother’s Rummage Sale,” support three homes for orphans in Russia and Uganda, said the sale’s general manager, Braulio Muñoz. Muñoz assumed administrative leadership of the sale from Norm Manzer, who created it and shepherded it through its first 11 years.


“It was a total success and everybody’s happy,” Muñoz said.


Bringing in the highest price of the sale of pre-used merchandise was antique furniture, which sold for more than $1,200, he added.
