Donations are under way for the annual Grand and Glorious Yard Sale sponsored by the Mid Coast Hospital Auxiliary.

The sale is May 17-19.

The former Bookland site in Cook’s Corner will be open every Saturday through May 11 — and every Wednesday from April 3 through May 8 — to receive merchandise.

Major appliances and televisions, computer equipment and typewriters, large exercise equipment, nonrolling luggage, alpine skis and boots, mattresses, outdoor grills, clothing, medical equipment, large fake Christmas trees, broken toys, baby cribs, bumpers and car seats will not be accepted.

To arrange pickup of large quantities of items, call Margy Burroughs, an organizer, at 729-0696.

“It is incredible how the donations from the community add up,” Burroughs said. “Without community support for high quality health care, we would not have such a successful sale.”

Tickets for a May 17 preview party will be sold at the Mid Coast Hospital Gift Shop, Gulf of Maine Books and Now You’re Cooking. Advance tickets are $15 until 5 p.m. May 15; $20 at the door, starting at 6:15 p.m. Admission includes refreshments.

Free public hours for the sale are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 18, and 9 a.m. to noon Sunday, May 19.

Proceeds benefit Mid Coast Hospital and health career scholarships.

The Auxiliary paid off its $150,000 pledge for the new Brunswick downtown walk-in clinic in January and expects to announce a new pledge soon, according to Auxiliary President Carolyn Gibson.
