It’s that time of year again. Time to clean out old clothes, toys, games, strollers, sports equipment and maternity items and get your home organized. Consider using The Shepherd’s Flock ELC Twice Blessed Consignment Sale as a convenient way to get rid of those items you no longer need and make some money for yourself at the same time! Also, for people looking for recycled items in good condition but at better than new prices, it’s one-stop shopping at its best. This will be the 11th year that the Shepherd’s Flock ELC has put on a Consignment Sale for items relating to children … from toys to clothing to maternity items to furniture … anything imaginable can show up at the sale!

The actual Twice-Blessed Consignment Sale will be Friday, April 13 and Saturday, April 14 of 2012. Mark your calendars … start saving wire hangers and safety pins … clean out those drawers and closets and attics … start telling everyone with whom you come in contact about The Twice Blessed Consignment Sale at Shepherd of the Valley! It’s great for buyers and sellers, and it’s a huge benefit for our school and our children!

Selling and shopping is open to the public; no affiliation with Shepherd’s flock ELC is necessary. To participate as a seller at our Consignment Sale, you must purchase a Consignment Seller Packet … Packets go on sale January 23, 2012! Stop by the church office during business hours (9:30-3:30) to purchase one. The cost of the packet is $5.00 for volunteers who work two hours or more, and $15 otherwise. The packet will outline easy, step-by-step instructions for getting ready for the sale and provide all the materials you will need. You determine the price of your items … sellers receive 70% of their sale price and the school gets 30% for doing all the advertising and set-up and work. Not a bad deal.

There is a big incentive to volunteer (you don’t need to be an ELC parent) … volunteers who work a minimum of four hours (any combination of WHOLE hours throughout the sale dates) will be allowed to shop the pre-sale prior to opening to the public (and get the choice items from the sale before they are picked-over!). The Pre-Sale is held on Thursday, April 12th. Being a volunteer is easy and fun! We need help making phone calls, handing out brochures, setting up, cashiers, taggers, floaters during the sale, take-down, greeters, check-out assistants, etc. For more information 225-1952 ext. 45.

To volunteer, simply fill out a Volunteer Sign-Up Form (you can print one off), and mail it or drop it off at the Church Office. Or, come in and pick up a Twice Blessed brochure from one of our ELC Parent Information Tables … it includes more detailed information and a Volunteer Sign-Up Form with dates and times for which you can sign up.
