The Woman’s Club of Morristown plans to hold
its annual Rummage Sale fund-raiser on Aug. 26 through Aug. 28 from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday
at its headquarters, the Dr. Lewis Condict House in
Morristown. There will also be a special Preview Party on Thurs.,
Aug. 25, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. All of the sale’s proceeds support the Club,
its charitable programs, and the maintenance of the historic Condict
house.
Because the Club donates its unsold merchandise to other charities,
nothing goes to waste and the selection is new every year. Club members
have been busy for months, sorting, cleaning, and pricing goods of all
kinds. No more merchandise donations are being accepted at this time.
This year’s inventory includes clothing (including designer and brand
names) and accessories, jewelry, housewares, kitchen goods, artwork,
vintage dolls, antiques and collectibles, linens, lamps, toys, home decor,
furniture, fabric, hardware, record albums, and much more — too much to
list. There are items perfect for anyone furnishing a dorm room or a
first apartment.
The Thursday evening Preview Party gives shoppers first choice of the
bargains. Light refreshments will be served. There is a $10 admission
fee for the Preview Party.
The white clapboard Federal-style Dr. Condict House was built in 1797. It
is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Woman’s Club
of Morristown has owned the house since 1936. The Club’s charitable
endeavors include scholarships for Morristown high school senior women,
care packages for battered women and for veterans, supporting food drives,
recycling, and, in conjunction with the Daily Record, “Operation Holiday,”
providing gifts for needy individuals and families at the holiday season.
The members of the Woman’s Club of Morristown are dedicated to serving
their community through civic, cultural, and educational projects. The
group works closely with the NJ State Federation of Women’s Clubs and the
General Federation of Women’s Clubs. The Club is a non-profit,
non-political, non-sectarian organization whose purpose is to promote
improvements within its community, to offer civic and cultural activities,
and to preserve the Dr. Lewis Condict House. More information is
