3rd Annual Community Day at Bargains Galore – A Huge Success!
Bargains Galore held its’ 3rd Annual Community Day on Saturday, Feb. 9. This rewarding and fun event is held yearly in support of our community. It is another way we can give back and is a great way to say "thank you" to all those who donate to and shop at Bargains Galore throughout the year.
The Waupun Memorial Hospital was chosen as this year’s beneficiary of the Community Day. The money will be used to purchase cardiac rehabilitation equipment for heart patients, - what a fantastic cause that many of us can relate to. We had a wonderful day with $1,820 in sales!
DeAnn Thurmer, Chief Operating Officer, Diana Gedamke and Dawn Strahota, hospital nursing staff, were on hand at the store administering free blood pressure screenings to our customers. They also gave out valuable health information and answered any health related questions our shoppers had.
DeAnn commented many times how appreciative the hospital is, what a great idea the Community Day is, and how much fun they had. The customers were also very supportive of this event and certainly recognize our commitment to the community.
Overall, we had a fantastic and true Community Day with many, many positive comments and great sales! We were certainly blessed this day! What a great example of how Bargains Galore continues to work towards fulfilling its’ Mission of making a positive difference in God’s kingdom!
