Garden sale time...

Hi,

It's time for another Garden Sale !!
Our beautiful garden needs money for: fertilizer, plants, flowers, some tools like hoses, sprinklers, timers, rakes, a new compost tumbler, a new sun-umbrella etc. The labor is free (us).

Here's how it works:
   - you come downstairs with anything you don't want in your home that is still in good enough shape for somebody else to use, a table, and sell it yourself and donate a 20% of your total to the garden fund

or
   - you donate your stuff to the garden sale and somebody else will take care of selling it.

For it to happen, we need:

people who commit to help with it, the more we are the less burden on everyone. This is what we usually do:

Before the sale

advertise: 
  1. put out signs in and around the building
  2. post on local online networks starting around three weeks in advance and repeating once a week  until the day of

The day of sale
  1. sort & price donations
  2. arrive early on sale day to set up tables - be prepared with small dollar bills and quarters
  3. work the sale
  4. pack up & clean up
  5. pick up signs
Sundays are the best days for foot traffic. 
Possible dates: June 4, June 11, June 18.

Think about it and get back to us by the week of May 8th.

Thanks

Garden day success
