Swap Party

[Crystal]

I know this is way ahead of time, but I wanted to set up a date in the spring for a Swap Party.  March and April are really busy months, so May it is!

Basically what we'll do is everyone brings items in good condition that they want to get rid of.  We'll set everything up for display and allow for some browsing time.  Then we'll take turns choosing one item for every item we brought.  Everything left over is donated to Goodwill or something.

We may even set up a tagging system if multiple people want the same item, or we can ask for a small fee to participate ($5-$10 or something) which all just goes to the Grove.  It lets you support the Grove, get rid of some clutter, and maybe find something new for yourself.

Hey. How about whatever isn't taken/traded is held for a yardsale for grove funds and whatever doesnt sell then goes to goodwill?

[Crystal]

If someone wants to take up that initiative, sure

[books]

Can do.

[Crystal]

We are coming up soon on our Swap Party   Start going through your items and put them aside for our big trade day.  I will be posting details soon.  Time to spring clean the clutter!

[books]

Hey. Is it ok if I bring some stuff over this weekend> I have 5 cartons of stuff and more to come.....and I am running out of room...

[Crystal]

If it's on Sunday sure.  Saturday we're going to be full of people for Beltane

[Crystal]

I'm going to come in early Sunday morning to start getting stuff outside and on display.  I'm going to drag whatever tables we have from the basement out for this, and see if we have any hangers for hanging up clothes in the pavilion (I don't actually know that we have many clothes for this, but it's possible).

Anyone that wants to come early to help with this is welcome My plan is to be there at 9.

There are hangers in the basement and there is a pipe or piece of conduit that we have hung up in the past to hang clothes on.  I am sending some of Kay's clothes and a blue tote of knick-knacks and jewelry.  If you want save anything for an auction...feel free.  I will be driving back from VA that day, home late afternoon sometime.

Have fun!

I dropped off a few items the other night at the Grove and put them with some other swap items over by the stereo.

[Crystal]

I'm running a little late this morning, but should be there just before 10 or at 10

[Wayne]

I won't be able to make it today.  I had planned to, but I am not feeling well.  I will see everyone next week.

[Crystal]

Swap party went fairly well.  A lot of things found new homes, and we have everything else boxed up in the basement.  Liz is going to gradually take some over her house for a yard sale in June.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS FOR THIS YARD SALE.  It should probably just be done on a Saturday (I believe she is looking at the second Saturday in June), and then VOLUNTEERS TO HELP HAUL IT OFF TO GOODWILL the same day so no junk is left at the Grove or at Liz's house.

If you can volunteer for either/both of these please do.

Liz, can you find out what time Goodwill closes?  If we run the yardsale from 8-3 (approx, it can change), with an hour to pack-up what's left, will we have time to drive it all to Goodwill?

[books]

Goodwill is only a 20 minute drive from my house(If there is bad traffic.) and they close on Saturday at 5pm. So the last drop off are at 4:30.

We are looking at JUNE 12. From 8-3. I need someone to post a flyer at Turning Wheel, Mystical Voyage and any other Pagan friendly place.
Something along the lines of:
        Trees are not the only green needed to run a Grove.
         Cedar Light Grove, ADF  is having a fund raising yard sale on June 12 from 8-3
Located at 7222 Sollers Point Rd in Dundalk
Something for every one. Pagan supplies, kitchen ware, collectibles, clothing, artwork....
Help support Baltimore's Druid Grove.

I'll be putting a notice on the Baltimore Mom's groups, facebook, the local SCA boards and the Dragonwings site,. Can someone supply tacks? Ducktape didn't keep the signs up last time. Maybe some balloons? Oh and signs. Does anyone have any poster board?
I have a pop-up and a small pavilion that is difficult for one to put up.  So if someone could come by on Friday to help me put them up I'd appreciate it.

Also if you have anything boxed up that you want to just drop on by here for the sale, please email me or call me or just come by and drop it with a note on the covered side porch.  Thanks.

I'm thinking that most items will be $1.00. So if there is anything that you think deserves a reasonable price put a note on it and we will try to get that much for it.
 Let me know who is doing what by next Sunday. And I can't think of anything else....
