NEWS RELEASE
COLLINGWOOD OPTIMIST CLUB
***********************

It was our hope to bring the Mother of all Yard Sales back in 2021, our vision was to bring it back bigger than ever. Unfortunately, COVID had other plans.

Our club is all about safety and the safety of others is paramount, we feel that we are still another year out before we can bring the sale back to the typical in-person sale everyone knows and loves. 

We will spend this downtime to plan for one Mother of a Mother of All Yard Sales in 2022.

In the meantime, as a small replacement to the yard sale we will be hosting online auction from March 17 to 25 at collingwoodoptimistclub.ca. We are partnering with Home Depot Collingwood who has graciously donated items to our auction as well as offering other items we have collected over the past year. 

As well, our Recyclefest event will return this year with multiple dates to donate your bikes, textiles, electronics, beer, wine and spirits bottles and cans. 

Please visit our website, collingwoodoptimistclub.ca and sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date on all that the Optimist Club of Collingwood and Southern Georgian Bay is doing.
