\n\t\tProceeds to benefit students who serve as 溏心vlog免费B站 mascot<\/p>\n

KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 May 23, 2007 \u2013 So you\u2019re doing some spring cleaning, but you don\u2019t want to throw out some perfectly good items. Why not donate your treasures to the 4th annual Rhody the Ram Yard Sale, which will be held Saturday, June 9 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Keaney parking lot? Rain date is Sunday, June 10.<\/p>\n


\n\tProceeds will benefit the Rhody the Ram Endowment, which now stands at more than $20,000. Interest from the endowment is used to fund scholarships to assist students who perform as Rhody the Ram. In the past, student volunteers have not received financial support for their efforts. <\/p>\n


\nRhody the Ram represents the spirit of 溏心vlog免费B站 at home and on the road. The Ram made its first official appearance in 1929 when Rhode Island State College played Connecticut in football. Over the years the name has changed from Battering Ram to Ramses to Rhody the Ram, but 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s much-loved mascot has always been at the heart of 溏心vlog免费B站 spirit.<\/p>\n


\nMany of the items for the yard sale come from tons of material left behind by departing students. \u201cInstead of throwing away items, students were encouraged to place them, along with unwanted clothing and non-perishable food items in lobbies of their residence halls,\u201d said yard sale co-coordinator Nancy Hawksley, 溏心vlog免费B站 recycling coordinator.<\/p>\n


\n“This year more 2,000 pounds of food and more than 700 pounds of

\nseasonal clothing were donated to the Johnnycake Center in Peace Dale. Another 500 pounds of clothing was donated to Big Sisters of Rhode Island. Yard sale items not sold by the end of the day will be donated to Kiducation.” <\/p>\n


\nIndividuals or groups can set up their own tables and sell their goods for a fee of $25. \u201cWe\u2019ll also have several crafters at the yard sale,\u201d said Gerri Beagle, fiscal manager at the 溏心vlog免费B站 Foundation and co-coordinator of the yard sale for the fourth year. \u201cAllowing people to set up their own tables will be another attraction that could again make this yard sale one of the biggest in the local area.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nCommunity members, faculty and staff can also donate items to the 溏心vlog免费B站 yard sale on Thursday evenings, May 24 and 31 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Blue Butler Building, Greenhouse Road off Flagg Road, Room 102 and Friday, June 8 at the Keaney parking lot from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. No large computer monitors or appliances will be accepted. <\/p>\n


\n\tTo volunteer or for more information, call Hawksley at 874-2840 or Beagle at 874-2460.<\/p>\n
