Club garage sale time?

[dolphinman213]

i agree--now when are we having it?

 

[Zann]

well we can always have two one at kermits and one at memfish

just saying because some of us it is a long way to go to kermits memfish is closer for me and for some it is closer for some to go to kermits

dont see why there cant be two sales differant weekends

 

[Reefdiver77]

Mainly because I do not want to lug all my stuff from out of town for two weekends. Yes, Kermit's may be a longer drive for some, but for those of us who have to drive 1.5 hours plus to the meetings, all is relative. Kermit's and Memfish are probably an equal distance from my home, but my kids live 3 minutes from Memfish. I think we need to have our sale a couple of times a year and alternate locations between our loyal sponsors.

they are only 15 minutes from each other , not like they are clear across town. and i do agree with the 2 sales a year and it will benifit both kermits and memfish , with in store business

 

[dolphinman213]

ok, now that we have heard some good reasons--let's vote and get this thing rolling

 

[ihavtats29]

I think we should hear from everyone else still, since there are still a few from the reef club that has not posted any comments about the garage sale yet...

 

[Reefdiver77]

Snakemanvet, Mr. Prez, what are you and the other officers thoughts on this? I think it needs to be organized by someone active in the club.

 

[grannybj]

depends on which weekend you all vote on to have this..if it is the weekend of the 19th I will be here and on vacation and will be glad to help all I can ...if it is the weekend of the 26th, I will be gone ...so depending on the final decision of the date...I am available to help all day if needed...

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

I think haveing it at Kermits would be good,but would need to be on Sunday.All the other stores in the shopping center are open on Saturday. I agree we need to get things together soon.

 

[ducklabdad]

A lot of people have been asking to hold a meeting on Sunday, I would suggest that the garage sale be held at Kermits on Sunday since the last one was at Memfish.

Hold a short meeting at some time during the day and do it on
April 19th. and set the hours at like 2 to 6.

But I am only one opinion, and I agree with Reefdiver the officers should probably decide this one!! So I shall step to the side!!

 

[dolphinman213]

IMO--- if it's held before easter, those with stuff to sell can make money for easter goodies for their children--- if it's after easter, then they can re-coup the money they spent on easter--either way, those that sell items win either way--i too would like for it to be on a sunday--besides the ncaa will be over and the nba playoffs don't start yet

My vote also is Sunday the 18th. I agree that we need to alternate between our sponsors. I like the principle of 2 per year, one spring and one fall.

2nd Vicki's comment! Someone pull the chain.

Considerations:
If current Weather is any indicator, an (alternate) inside Venue is in order.

Is this apart from, or in addition to, our Annual Frag Swap? (Or is this just us local kids, more casual-like?)

If you build it; They will come.

When is ou Frag Swap, Normally? Summer, right?

Here is the tradition on the garage sale:

First year, Jay put it together and hosted it at his house. It was just an informal collaboration of volunteers for all who wanted to participate. The club did not formally organize or raise money. All sellers helped each other out working shifts and everyone kept their own money.

Last year, it was also an informal collaboration of volunteers. We all helped each other out and everyone kept their own money. It seemed like a bigger deal because we had it outside Memfish, but it wasn't really any more organized than it was the year before.

This club officer is tapped to the max and if you are all looking for the club to take charge and do it for you, then we should bag it right now. I'm sorry if I created any misundertanding in my original post.

I just wasn't thinking of this as a big deal that would crowd out a meeting or the frag swap. I was thinking more in terms of just whoever wanted to sell, showing up with their stuff, we put an ad in the paper and a sign out front and enjoy each other's company while we hopefully unload some excess. I really don't want the pressure of trying to organize this as a formal club activity.

If someone else wants to volunteer and take that charge, then check it with Dave and BJ and go for it.

I am willing to commit to April 18 and will arrange to put the ad in the paper and Craig's List. Who else can commit to being there with stuff to sell on April 18? If we have at least 8 - 9 other people, then I think we have a garage sale. If not, we should all post our stuff as we can here on RC or whatever.

Ummmm. I have been following this thread to go to the sale. I just left Memfish & there is a sign that says they are having a garage sale on the 18th. Same sale?

 

[crpeck]

Oh .... I'll get with Richard and Andy and see what's up. They had offered but consensus was to give our sponsors equal time. Maybe they'll want to do their stuff at their own store.

We're lucky to have sponsors that are so willing to help. I'm sure we'll work something out.
