* * Update * * – NWACHEA Used Book Sale
There are a very limited number of Saturday shifts remaining for the Used Book Sale. The 11-1 shift is particularly crucial to sorting unsold books for sellers to pick up after the sale. In addition to serving many homeschooling families in our area through their efforts, volunteers pay substantially lower commission on any books they sell, and are also able to shop early (from 6 – 7 p.m. on Friday) before the sale opens to the public!
Please contact Marni Hendrix if you are able to help during any of the following times:
Saturday 9 – 11 a.m.
* Saturday 11 – 1 p.m.
* For safety reasons, it is very important that small children are not in / around the shopping area during the shift marked with an asterisk. We are not able to provide childcare for volunteers. However, there is a playground outside the church, where younger children can play with the supervision of their older siblings.
The volunteer shifts are explained in more detail below.
============
You DO NOT have to be a member of NWACHEA to participate in the book sale as a buyer or seller. There is no entrance fee to shop.
If you wish to sell books, you must use pre-printed NWACHEA labels. The deadline has now passed to receive labels before the sale, but they will be available for pick-up on Friday, June 20th, to sellers who have registered in advance. Please contact Amy Calhoun for more information. (If you have NWACHEA labels left over from previous years, you may use them – but please let Amy know that you are planning to sell books this year.)
Volunteers who work Friday 7 – 9 pm (NOW FULL) or Saturday 9 – 11 am – 10%
Non-volunteers – 20%
Unsold books must be picked up on Saturday, June 21st, from 12 – 1 p.m. NWACHEA will donate or dispose of any items left behind after the sale, at our discretion.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
We must have enough volunteers to complete tasks in a limited amount of time, in order for the sale to operate on schedule. The 3 times slots listed (above) at the 5% commission rate are critical. If you do not have a preference, please consider volunteering for one – or more – of those.
* Friday 2 – 4 p.m. (marking chair locations, stacking chairs, setting up tables, sorting/placing books) – NOTE: THIS SHIFT IS NOW FULL
* Friday 4 – 6 p.m. (sorting/placing books) – NOTE: THIS SHIFT IS NOW FULL
Friday 7 – 9 p.m. (book straightening, working checkout table) – NOTE: THIS SHIFT IS NOW FULL
Saturday 9 – 11 a.m. (book straightening, working checkout table)
* Saturday 11 – 1 p.m. (sorting and stacking unsold books for pickup, breaking down tables, setting up chairs)
For any other questions, please contact Amy Calhoun.
