We organize committees to handle the monies, booths, pricing article. Set up hours ( 2 hour increments) for members to work during the rummage sale. The rummage sale last 2 days.

After the rummage sale is over, we divide the proceeds between the aerie and auxiliary for the charities that the Eagles sponsor. This way we are able to help with the charities at the end of year.
