Thank you so much for volunteering at our sale! We couldn’t do it without you!
We require 5 hours of volunteer time over the weekend of the sale, and in return for all your hard work, you are invited to shop before the general public at a private sale held on Friday.
The volunteer pre-sale is Friday, August 29, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. Volunteers shop TWO FULL HOURS before the consignors!
Your five hours do not need to be all in one day. You are welcome to split up the hours over two to three days.
You do not need to finish your 5 hours before the Friday pre-sale. We need lots of volunteers on Saturday!
Please check-in 15 minutes prior to your shift! We will provide you with a name tag and let you know in what area you will be working.
| Volunteer Schedule | |
| Set Up of the Family Life Center | Wednesday, August 27, 2008 4:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. |
| New this sale! We are asking for help to set up the Family Life Center on Wednesday night. We will be carrying in the racks and setting them up.
Men are welcome! Children should be left at home - even small babies that are "worn" because we will be working with sharp objects and doing a lot of heavy lifting.
This shift is also not suitable for those with problems lifting or bending. People can work volunteer hours for other shoppers, for example, a husband can help set up on Wednesday night and his wife can be the one to shop. |

| Consignors Drop off Items | Thursday, August 28, 2008 9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. |
| How you can help: As consignors bring in their clothes, toys and other items, we need to get these things hung on the racks and arranged in the gym.
You can help by assisting people bring in stuff from their car, and then by bringing the items in the gym and putting them where they belong. Please note: Consignors drop off items Thursday from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. - 8 p.m. We will need volunteers all day up until 9 p.m. to help get all the items in the gym and put away neatly. |

| Break Down of the Sale | Saturday, August 30, 2008 3 p.m. - 6 p.m. |
|
How you can help: If you’re a real die-hard, you can come for our break-down shift. Break down volunteers work their regular five-hour shift
AND help with break down beginning sharply at 3 p.m. on Saturday. We stay until the gym is cleaned up, usually no later than 6 p.m. In return for all their hard work, each break down volunteer chooses 15 free items per child before helping to bag donated items for charity. |
