Dear World's Most Amazing Plus Size Yard Sale Vendors and Buyers,
A very unexpected error on the books at the Trussville Community
Center has made it necessary to reschedule our much awaited 2nd
World's Most Amazing Plus Size Yard Sale. Please accept our sincere
apologies if this causes any of you inconvenience. We're trying to
look at this delay as an opportunity to make the sale bigger and
better than ever.
The new date of the yard sale is April 3rd. It will be held at
the Trussville Community Center which is located on Clay Chalkville
Road in Trussville. We are very excited about holding the sale at
the community center for several reasons. It will be wonderful to
have the sale indoors which will protect us from heat, cold, rain,
cold, etc. There are also clean restrooms and electricity. Further,
if it happens to rain on sale day we can still expect a good turnout
because weather will not be a factor.
Our first sale was held outdoors and John Kosie was generous
enough to allow us to use his property at no charge. We are having
to pay for the two rooms at the Trussville Community Center which
will result in booth prices being $15.00 instead of the $10.00 we
charged at the first sale. It is our hope that this very small price
increase will cover the expenses of renting the facility. Spaces are
10 feet long and will accomodate a regular size folding table. You
may purchase more than one space but must have a minimum of 15 pieces
of plus size clothing for sale per space. You are welcome to use
racks and card tables if this would work better for you. Regular
size folding tables will be available for a very nominal rental
charge and can be rented for use in spaces on a first come first
served basis. You are certainly welcome to use your own tables. At
the end of the day you will donate 10% of your sales and receive a
tax deductible receipt for your space fee and for your 10% donation.
It's a wonderful way to sell your clothes, buy others and enable our
support group to fund our goodie bag program, social events and other
benevolent causes.
In addition to selling plus size clothing you are welcome to sell
household items, collectibles, regular size clothing, baby clothing
and other baby items, DVDs, CDs and small electronics. Due to size
limitations it will not be feasible to sell furniture or large
appliances. Just remember - you must have a minimum of 15 pieces of
plus size clothing per space. All items for sale should be clean and
in good condition. You will price your own items and collect your
own money. It will also be necessary for you to bring your own
change as change will not be available at the community center.
We are attempting to develop a clothing donation program for the
obese who are needy during the holidays. After the sale, if you
would like to donate any unsold clothing items to this program you
may do so. You will be given a tax deductible receipt for this
donation as well. Ideally the donated clothing will be divided by
sizes and boxed. During the holidays we will contact radio and
television stations and try to arrange for the clothing to be given
to the needy. As I'm sure you all know, it's almost impossible to
get plus size clothing at a reasonable price so having a program like
this would certainly be a community service. We're going into this
program with little to know idea of how to accomplish this goal but
still believing we'll be able to help people. In addition to this -
we will arrange for a Hannah Home truck to be at the community center
at the end of the sale in the event you do not want to take your
unsold items home.
The community center opens at 8:00 for setup and the sale is from
9:00 to 3:00. You will need to be setup and ready to sell at 9:00.
We're looking forward to a successful sale. Our last sale had
$6000.00 plus in sales. We will be advertising on all television
stations, all local radio stations and in the Birmingham News and
Post Herald. We hope you'll participate. Please contact Amanda
Sawyer at MandiKS@aol to reserve your booth and for information on
remitting your space fee.
Thanks,
