Clothing Drive for Synchro Swans

People looking to get rid of clothing, bedding, accessories and toys will have an opportunity to do so this weekend and benefit the East Hampton Synchro Swans synchronized swimming team at the same time. The Swans are a competitive synchronized-swimming team that trains at the East Hampton Y.M.C.A.-RECenter.

Collection will be at the Springs Presbyterian Church on Old Stone Highway on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Swans have asked that all donations be packed in tied trash bags.

Items that will be accepted include:

Used, wearable clothing

Shoes and sneakers

Blankets, quilts, sheets, and comforters

Table cloths

Curtains and drapery

Fabric kitchen and bath accessories

Purses, backpacks, and briefcases

Hats and gloves

Ties

Fabric baby items

Stuffed animals

Some children's toys

The organizers have asked that no books, CDs, VHS tapes, appliances, outdoor toys, or furniture be brought to the collection site.

Those unable to bring their items to the church this weekend can e-mail Meg Preiss at [email protected] or call 631-604-2432.
