85th Thursday Club Rummage Sale
San Diego’s largest rummage sale, started in 1927, will be held March 10 and 11 in the Activity Center (2145 Park Blvd., east side of Balboa Park) in Balboa Park. New and gently-used merchandise, including antiques, furniture, sporting equipment, holiday décor, kitchen appliances, toys, computer ware, books and clothing will be sold to raise money for 21 local charities, including the San Diego Museum of Man. More than $100,000 was returned to the community through last year’s sale.
The Thursday Club, a group of volunteers dedicated to educational, cultural and civic community involvement and leadership for more than 90 years in San Diego, has returned well over $1.5 million to the community through club activities. Each year members of the non-profit organization assess community needs to reach as many groups as possible. Our goal this year is to raise more than $110,000 to help in these economically challenging times.
