On Sunday, May 20th, we will be hosting a yard sale to benefit Flint 
 Creek Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation. It will take place from 8:00 AM until 3:00 PM in
   the Niles Animal Hospital parking lot at 7278 N. Milwaukee Ave. in   
Niles. There will be plentiful parking at surrounding parking lots in   
the area.
Flint Creek is a not for  profit organization which is 
actively involved with rescuing and  rehabilitating wildlife, as well as
 education the public about our  native wildlife. Needless to say, they 
depend upon charitable donations  to enable them to continue their work.
 An example of one of their  projects was the release of the two bald 
eaglets from Batavia at Starved  Rock last fall.  
As you are doing your spring cleaning bring  over anything that can 
be  donated to this good cause so money can be  raised to provide care 
for  the sick and injured wildlife Flint Creek  works with. The link to 
their  website is:  http://www.flintcreekwildlife.org/. Your donated 
materials  are tax  deductible.If the weather permits they may be able 
to bring  some of the  education wildlife for you to view.
Your 
donations of merchandise is tax deductible and it is a  win-win as you 
will be clearing out clutter, but you will also be  helping out a great 
cause. The donations can be brought to Niles animal  Hospital 7278 N. 
Milwaukee Ave. Niles and we will store it until the  sale or you can 
drop material off early in the morning the day of the  sale. Donated 
materials  can be dropped off at the animal hospital during  regular 
business hours  M, T, Th, F 8-6, W 8-5, Sat 8-2. We will remain  an hour
 later on  Saturday May 19th until 3 PM for more drop offs. We  will be 
storing the  items in a storeroom in the hospital until the  sale. You 
can also bring  materials the day of the yard sale, but we  want to be 
up and ready to go  by 8 AM. Call 847-647-9325 if you have any questions. You can also send  inquiries/comments via email info@nilesanimalhospital.com.
Even  if you have nothing to sell/donate come on by and buy! You will
 find  all sorts of treasures and you will helping to fund their work at
 Flint  Creek. They will probably also have a display and bring some 
education  animals, weather permitting.
If you would like to 
volunteer your help for  set up and helping to "sell" the items it would
 be appreciated. We will  be hopefully beginning the set up around 6:00 
AM on Sunday the 20th.
So  several opportunities to participate, donate goods, volunteer to 
help  with set up and selling or just coming by to purchase items, 
gathering  up some treasures, but also supporting a great cause.
