Pawling’s Annual Garage Sale 9/12 9am-4pm By Margaret Generoso
The Pawling Chamber will be hosting its Annual Garage Sale on September 12th in the Village and Town of Pawling from 9-4, with a rain date set for September 13th. This year R. Ferris Real Estate is sponsoring the LEAF organization with a spot in the Village of Pawling in front of our office at 11 East Main Street.
Local Education Advancement Foundation, LEAF, is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit founded in 1999 by community members to raise funds for the Pawling Central School District. Through fundraising events, corporate support, private grants and donations LEAF generates resources to enhance and expand academic and extra-curricular activities.
LEAF supports 2 major programs: the after-school hours at Pawling High School Library and the Mini-Grant Program.
High School Library: Funding after-school hours three days a week for students staying late to do research and work.
Mini-Grant Program: Providing small grants to encourage innovative, collaborative and creative classroom projects that support high learning standards and creativity in the learning process.
A major part of LEAF’s funding comes through contributions from the community during our two annual appeals and through major events such as participation in the Annual Garage Sale.
LEAF is volunteer led and staffed. There is no overhead or administrative costs. If you would like to be a part of the good work we do our meetings are the 2nd Tuesday of the month at the District offices, 515 Route 22, Pawling, New York.
Please stop by the LEAF table at the Annual Garage Sale, make a purchase or a donation. As a non-profit, 510(c)3 all donations are tax-deductible. Donations to LEAF directly support programming.
We look forward to seeing you all!
