 The annual SJOC Ski and Sports Swap is scheduled for Saturday, October 20. The Swap is a service the SJOC provides for the community by making low cost sports gear available. It is also a primary fund-raiser for scholarships the Club gives local graduating seniors each year.
Mark your calendars for October 19 and 20. The Swap organizers, Jim and Nancy Cole, will need lots of help as usual. Last year, almost fifty club members helped in some way. A record amount was raised for scholarships. Club members Marsha Baker, John Clay, Judy Collins, Linda Espinosa, Cindy Quigley, Joyce Ramberg, and Carrie Weisz are serving as an expanded Swap Committee.
The Swap receives the bulk of the goods for sale from area merchants. Their goods are used or last year’s products. Many of the merchants are very helpful to us during the Swap, agreeing to help buyers select goods, including those not their own. Individuals also bring items to sell. So check your storage and find usable items to sell. Items priced low, sell best. The club sells items for a consignment fee of 20%, which pays the expenses and leaves money for scholarships.
Look for the sign-up sheets at the October SJOC meeting and sign up. Help is needed to:
- Bring baked goods
- Check in goods from merchants and individuals and set up the Exhibit Hall at the Fairgrounds on Friday night from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
- Check in goods early Saturday morning from 8:30 to 1:00, before Swap opens
- Help with bake sale on Saturday from 8:30 to 1:00
- Help with sales of sporting goods during Swap from 9 to 1
- Run the check-out for sales from 9 to 1
- Check out unsold goods back to merchants or individuals and clean up from 1 to 2 p.m.
- Tally up sales and amounts owed each seller on Sunday.
- Write the checks for goods sold to merchants and individuals
Call Nancy Cole at 731-2073 to volunteer for your club.
