TS Additional things we need at the Touchstone Garage Sale Feb. 24-25

Thu Feb 23 21:09:09 CST 2006

In addition to donations of items, volunteers, and vehicles, we also 
will need the following at The Touchstone Garage Sale (Saturday, Feb. 
25, 7 AM - noon) , setup (on Friday, Feb. 24 starting at 4 PM), and 
clean-up (Saturday, noon - 2 PM) at the Unitarian Fellowship, 305 
Wellborn in College Station:

1. Clothes hangers
2. Plastic/paper grocery bags
3. Some change and small bills
4. Pens
5. Hammers
6. Nails
7. Stakes for signs
8. Poster board/construction paper for signs
9. Paper towels

Dennis Berthold has already said that he will bring some stickers for 
pricing on Friday.  (Thanks, Dennis!) If you can bring any of the 
above -- let me know or just bring them by the Fellowship 
Hall.  We're in special need of items 1-3.
      I'll be at the Unitarian Fellowship starting at 4 PM on Friday 
to start accepting item donation and for setup.  We need donations of 
items to sell and volunteers to help out on Friday and Saturday -- 
even an hour or so of your time will help.  It's a lot of work but a 
lot of fun too!  Don't forget that there's free pizza, beer, and soft 
drinks on Friday and coffee and muffins or rolls on Saturday. For 
more information see our previous emails on the garage sale below, 
send me an email, or call me at 777-8758.
       I hope to see you on Friday at the setup and/or on Saturday at 
the sale itself and cleanup.

                  Danny

P.S.  Thanks again for all your help in the past and your continued support.

>>time.  I hope to see you on Feb 24 and/or Feb. 25 at the Unitarian

>>P.S. We're hoping to have the new issue of The Touchstone available

>>The annual Touchstone garage sale will be held this year on Saturday,
>>Feb. 25 8 AM - noon at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 305
>>Wellborn in College Station.  This sale is big. As usual, we need
>>your donated items to sell, volunteers to help out, and vehicles for
>>item transportation.
>>       Furniture, CDs, DVDs, computer games, electronics, computer
>>equipment, TVs, clothes, books, toys, tools, small appliances,
>>sporting equipment, art work, etc. all sell.  Since many of us have
>>already cleaned out our attics and garages for previous sales, we
>>really need your stuff to help us make money to keep the magazine and
>>radio show going.  If you have items to donate, we most appreciate
>>your dropping them off at the Fellowship after 4 PM on Friday, Feb.
>>24; however, if that's difficult/impossible we can pick up items from
>>your home or elsewhere.  There's only very limited storage space
>>available prior to Feb. 24 so if you at all can we also appreciate it
>>if people who are donating items keep them until the Friday before
>>the sale.  If that's not possible then we will find some storage
>>space -- just let me know.
>>        We need volunteers to help out on Friday, Feb. 24 with item
>>pick up, sorting, cleaning, and pricing as well as general set-up and
>>organization.  On Saturday we need people to help at the sale and for
>>clean-up.  Volunteers for our previous sales have mentioned to me how
>>much fun they thought it was (its a lot of work too:)).  Help is
>>needed 4 PM - 11 PM Friday, Feb. 24 and 7 AM - 3 PM Saturday, Feb.
>>25.  If you at all can -- please volunteer even if only for a couple
>>hours.  We need you!  Pizza, beer, and soft drinks will be provided
>>on Friday night.  Coffee and muffins on Saturday.
>>        Vehicles (preferably with drivers) are especially needed for
>>item transportation on Friday, Feb. 24 and after the sale for
>>clean-up and some item delivery.  Pick-up trucks are especially prized.
>>        If you have a chance, let me know if you'll be providing a
>>vehicle, volunteering and/or donating items.  That helps us with our
>>planning. Of course, you can also volunteer or donate at the last
>>minute as well.
>>       I hope to see you at the sale -- as a volunteer, a customer, or both.
