The Book Sale and Collectable Sale is scheduled for October 22, Saturday, from 8 am to 3 pm at the Church. The Saturday sale is open to the public and will include hardcover and paperback books, CD’s, DVD’s, audio books, collectables, art, jewelry, and antiques. Food will be available for purchase (a pizza, hot dog, coffee and soft drink type of menu) along with Equal Exchange coffee items and donated baked goods. Sales will be on a cash and carry basis.
A special Private Preview Sale will be held on Friday evening, October 21, for members and friends of the Church only, from 7 pm to 9 pm.
Donate Items for the Book and Collectable Sale
Please save items to donate for the Book and Collectable Sale scheduled for October 22 at UUYO. Items needed for the Book Sale include hardcover and paperback books, collectable magazines, CD’s, audio books, and DVD’s (no VHS tapes, no cassette tapes, no encyclopedias). “Collectable” items include items of value that people collect, art, jewelry, and antiques. Donated collectable items should be of a size that could fit on a table top. This is not a rummage sale so we are not accepting clothing, shoes, hats, coats, baskets, appliances, TV’s, computers, or furniture. Donated items must be in working order and not be damaged. We may also be in need of paper bags, plastic bags, and newspaper to wrap collectable items after purchase. We’ll also need donated baked goods to sell at the event.
As we approach the event we will be accepting donations. Items can be delivered to the Church after the church service on October 16th, and on Wednesday evening, October 19th from 6 pm to 8 pm, Thursday evening, October 20th from 6 pm to 8 pm, and on Friday afternoon, October 21st from 1 pm to 5 pm. For individuals who are absolutely unable to deliver larger quantities of items to the Church, we may be able to arrange for a truck to visit your home on a specific date and time for pick up.
Volunteer for the Book and Collectable Sale Team
We’ll need lots of help to make the Book and Collectable Sale a success. Not only do we want to raise some much needed funds for the operation of the Church, but we also want to showcase the Church for visitors who attend the sale. We need team members to work in these areas and complete these assignments:
- Publicity
- Cashiers
- Food service and sales
- Coordinate baked goods and sales
- Receiving items, pricing and table set up for collectables (October 16, 19, 20, 21)
- Receiving book donations, book sorting and book display set up (October 16, 19, 20, 21)
- Sales coordinators on the floor of book sale and collectable sale areas
- Clean up crew for Friday and Saturday evening
- Individuals to pick up items from Church members who absolutely can’t deliver items to Church
- Security for safety and to make sure guests are interacting with the sale in an appropriate manner
