Upscale Attic Sale: Donations sought for April 23 event

   The Warren Philharmonic Orchestra is seeking donations for its upcoming Upscale Attic Sale to be held at the Hippodrome Grand Ballroom and Banquet Facility on Saturday, April 23, 2016. Proceeds from the event will help underwrite the Orchestra as it begins its second half century serving the music lovers in our region.

    So, what's an "upscale attic sale" all about? We are looking for items that you may have that are too good to pitch or donate, but have value to a new owner. Items should be in great condition, like these items we have already been given:

• An antique brass bed that purportedly belonged to the Sutliff family
• A set of Williams-Sonoma dishware
• An outdoor patio table and chairs for four
• An unused designer wedding dress
• Three baby cribs (sold separately or to someone expecting triplets)

    A sale preview and brunch will be held on the sale day at 10:30 a.m. to noon. Join us to preview the sale and enjoy brunch provided by the Mocha House. The preview/brunch cost is $20 per person. Live classical music will add to the festivities.

    Doors will open for the Upscale Attic Sale at noon, and the public will be welcomed at that time. Items can be purchased with cash or personal check. A letter attesting to the sale value of your donation for tax preparation purposes will be mailed after the event.

    Contact the Orchestra office at 330-399-3606 or email warren.philharmonic@gmail.com with questions, to arrange for item drop off at 174 North Park Avenue, Suite 10, on Courthouse Square in Downtown Warren, or to schedule a pick up. The deadline for donations is April 16.

    Get a great start on spring cleaning, and help support your Warren Philharmonic Orchestra! Thank you!
