MAYVILLE - Cub Scouts of Pack 126 are cleaning out closets, garages and toy boxes to find items to donate for their upcoming rummage and bake sale on Friday and Saturday in the St. Mary of Lourdes Church's fellowship hall, 24 E. Chautauqua St., Mayville.
The pack is asking for the help of community members to donate gently used clothing for families, as well as toys, books, household and kitchen items, sports equipment, old jewelry, linens, small appliances and furniture for the sale.
"Webelos II scouts work together on fundraisers throughout the year to fund a trip to Gettysburg National Military Park over Memorial Day weekend," said Rennae Majka, den leader. "Our Scouts and their families have held can drives, sold hot dogs at Mayville's 4th of July parade, and served a pancake breakfast at Applebee's.''
