Hi again! We're having another rummage sale this year to benefit the Shac 7. Last summer, with your help, the sale raised over $700 that went towards the shac kids' legal fund. Let's see if we can top that! There are many ways you can help.

The best way to help ensure this event's success is to donate your unwanted items. Please read the following and contact us if you need anything clarified.

We want just about everything. Here were some of the most successful sellers last year:

- cool clothes!
- clean toys in good shape
- DVDs and videos
- clean stylish lingerie
- housewares
- kitchen wares: dishes, pots & pans, mugs, dinnerware, "silver"ware are always in demand
- CDs, tapes, vinyl
- home decor
- jewelry and accessories
- little interesting things for the 25 cent table
- random junk, for kids' goodie bags
- beads and bead necklaces were very popular last year
- craft stuff

We will take big things like furniture or bicycles on the day of the sale, but only if you will deliver AND be responsible for picking them up if they don't sell.

Please do not donate any of the following:

- REAL leather, fur, wool, silk, pearls, feathers and down, etc
- firearms, fireworks, weapons, etc
- bongs and suchlike
- alcohol
- things that might be misconstrued by idiots as terrorist threats
- foods of any kind, including homemade baked goods
- pornography, nudie magazines, sex toys, and other things that under-18s have never seen before
- other stuff that could get us into legal trouble/requires a license to sell (use common sense)

This year, we'd really like a lockbox (the kind with separate compartments for cash and coins) we could borrow for the day. Let us know if you have one!

Tables! Lightweight, folding-leg ones. You can have them back at the end of the day.

We could also use bags or boxes for the customers, and paper lunch sacks for goodie bags.

And finally, remember that we'll be spending a lot of time organizing and tagging your items.. but not cleaning them! Make sure everything is dusted off, non-stinky, and in working order. We're not hoping for a parking lot full of brand new stuff, but clean, working items will fetch higher prices, and this is all about maximizing profits to help the Shac 7.

We'll need the donations before the day of the sale, of course. Be sure to box or bag them up securely. Contact us for a location nearby to drop off your items (pickup may be negotiable for the automobilically challenged).

Thanks! With your help, this year's sale will be even bigger and better than the last.
