Adirondack HASCA among local groups to benefit from next weekend’s ‘Giant Tag Sale’ in Old Forge

The Home Aide Service of the Central Adirondacks (HASCA) will be one of the recipients of proceeds from the Giant Tag Sale held in the Niccolls Church Fellowship Hall during Memorial Day Weekend, May 27, 28, 29.

Since HASCA was established in 1979, it has provided Certified Home Health Aides for the elderly and infirm that allowed them to live independently in their homes instead of being placed in a nursing home.

The aides provide them with a variety of services that includes personal care, meal preparation and assistance, light housekeeping and shopping.

The not-for-profit organization operates from offices in the Town of Webb Professional Offices in Old Forge. Roberta Konecny, R.N., is director.

Nancy Venetz, president of HASCA’s Board of Directors, said their share of proceeds from the Tag Sale will be used to purchase a new computer to replace their old, outdated computer.

Other officers on the HASCA Board are Natalie Tickner, vice president; Peg Masters, secretary; and George Hiltebrant, treasurer.

Proceeds from the Giant Tag Sale will also be shared by the Niccolls Food Pantry, the Youth Mission trips, the Niccolls Church Renovation Fund and the Community transportation Services, Ltd (CTS).

Organizers of the TAG Sale are accepting donations of furniture, appliances, tools, sporting equipment and electronics in working condition (no computers).

Unique items of all kinds are welcome and may be delivered to the Niccolls Fellowship Hall beginning Sunday, May 22.

If storage is needed before that date, please call the office at Niccolls Church at 369-3475 for assistance.

All clothing donations should still be dropped off at the Thrift Shop in the church basement.
