Our tabling initiative has become one of the biggest succeses in fundraising for Rebuild Hi-Tor, with a great new committee headed up by Michelle Rusnock, Liz Steele, Natalie Lopez, and Andrea Doak. Profitable tabling events take place every weekend at PetSmart, Petco, Nanuet Pathmark, New City ShopRite, New City Stop & Shop, West Nyack ShopRite and Pearl River ShopRite. The tabling committee recently had their first open meeting at the Nanuet Library and many new volunteers came out. You can even see our Rebuild Chair Donald Franchino out tabling every weekend with one of his many dogs, at the Nanuet Pathmark! Tabling has always been one of our most successful ventures, but it continues to get even better as the amount of dedicated volunteers grows. It is also a great way to get the word out to the public about Rebuild Hi-Tor. Finally, it

can be one of the most rewarding aspects to volunteering, as so many people rush over to give support and put their donations into our buckets! Everyone always returns from tabling saying how much fun they had and are excited to do it again.

We’d like to give a big thank you to those volunteers who have braved the cold to man a table for two or four hours (or sometimes all day!), as well as the merchants listed above for allowing us to set up at their locations. We also wish to thank volunteer Mary Lenahan for maintaining our “Sign Up Genius” website for tabling.

We are always looking for more volunteers to table on the weekends in two hour shifts. Please visit the Sign Up Genius link found at the end of this article if you’d like to help. Everything you need will be provided for you.If you have a favorite location that you think might allow us to table, or that you would like to table at, please contact us and we will set you up with everything you need! Email Michelle Rusnock at Niagra117@aol.com with your ideas.

SUPPORTERS COME OUT FOR DINE-N-DONATE EVENTSCheck out our upcoming events advertised later in this newsletter & join the fun!

Rebuild Hi-Tor’s Dine-N-Donate events continue to raise funds and bring supporters together for good fun and great food!In the past month, we’ve had successful Dine-N-Donate events at Rocco’s in New City, Harbourside Grille in Valley Cottage and Grande Centrale in Congers.

Dine-N-Donates are held by local eating establishments on specific dates where they donate a portion of their proceeds to Rebuild

Hi-Tor. In addition, most businesses allow us to set up a small table to dispense information, collect donations and sell Rebuild t-shirts.If you have a favorite eatery and you think they’d be willing to set up a Dine-N-Donate event for Rebuild, let us know and we will publicize it on Facebook and in our newsletter! Local eateries can garner a lot of business by doing these events because we will help drive customers to their restaurants!

Come out and support Rebuild at upcoming events at Jimmy’s on Main in Nanuet, and Just Buns in Congers! (flyers on pages 9 &10).

The Wortendykes enjoyed their evening at Grand Centrale.

community together for an amazing cause!
