Dear Friends of the Center: Two things!
(1) Below is the announcement for our Annual Book Sale on Saturday, October 8. We are now sorting donations of books, dvds, cds, and for the first time in a long while vinyl records! People are now looking for them. Make sure they are in good shape though! Please bring donations in early so they can be sorted for the big day!
OUR ANNUAL FUNDRAISING BOOK SALE – OCTOBER 8 8 A.M. TO 4 P.M. SW corner of Van Ness and Olive.
We are now accepting books, dvds, cds for our Annual Fundraising Book sale. You can bring them to the Center between 11-3 daily. This is an important fundraiser for us so I’m hoping that not only will we get great donations but that you come and buy at the sale. If necessary buy back the book you’ve donated! (Smile). We have been repeatedly told by shoppers that ours is the best book sale in town! Think Christmas or birthday gifts!
We also will need volunteers on the day and a day or two before for sorting. Call us at 237-3223 for more information Mon-Fri 11 -3.
(2) OUR EBAY/ETSY/CRAIG’S LIST/ CLOVIS YARD SALE PROJECT
During the past months we have been quite successful in selling items donated by our members on eBay/Etsy/Craig’s List/Clovis Yard Sale. I say “we”, but it is really Gioia Frank, our volunteer, who has taken on this quite time consuming job. In the summer months between our Spring Appeal, Book Sale and Fall Appeal our funds naturally go down, but this project has helped pick up some donations we would not normally have had. (Richard Stone’s “Rent Event” has been doing this too – and kudos to Richard for doing this).
So, here is another appeal – as you look for books etc for our Book Sale, take a look at other items. Almost anything will find a buyer somewhere! And if that doesn’t happen we offer it back or “free cycle” it. Gioia has sold jewelery, clothing, pieces of furniture, office items like file cabinets, children’s toys, valuable books, paintings, ice cream makers, garden equipment, dog house!
You can really help out here. If you need something picked up just contact Gioia at: center.for.nonviolence@gmail.com. If you want to look at what we have on sale on eBay, here is the link.
