2012 Springtime Swap & Shop March 2, 2012

We are really thrilled to be at a NEW location: Orlando Brewing. Since we were bursting at the seams this will be a great relief. More room, means more people and therefore more clothes. Also Orlando Brewing has over 20 craft beers on tap, plus a selection of organic wines. We will have a Happy Hour from 6-7p while people get registered. And if you get there early, there is a tour of the brewery that begins at 6p. Plus The Bee's Knees Sweet Treats will be on hand to get a little goodie before the Swap! The Swap will be from 7-9p. So come join us, bring a friend and make a night of it!

***We are doing it a little different this time. If you drop off your items beforehand you will be in the first group to go into the Swap. So if you want to drop off things early please email: DanaMarieRoquemore@gmail.com ***

YELP.com will be on hand to give out totes for all of your NEW finds and lots of other FREEbies.

Moms get your kids clothes that they have out grown together and bring home some new stuff they can fit into!

**Donation of $10. If you are a veteran of a Swap you know how much clothes you will walk away with...worth way more than $10. If you want to pay early you can do so here: http://2012springswapnshop.eventbrite.com/

** We NEED Volunteers!! If you are available the night of for all or part of the night, please let us know. And if you have any clothing racks we could borrow for the evening that would be incredible.**

We ALREADY have mountains of things: clothes, shoes, and jewelry.

The REASON: According to the U.S. EPA Office of Solid Waste, Americans throw away more than 68 pounds of clothing and textiles per person per year. We are trying to help reduce that number by having you keep your clothes in circulation and out of landfills.

This is how it ALL goes down: Start cleaning out those closets. GUYS & Girls.

First Part is a Clothing Swap! Bring all your clothing, shoes, jewelry, etc that have been your closet forever that you just don't wear anymore, have grown out of, or was just never right for you to begin with and we will swap! Bring your old stuff. Bring home some new stuff. GENTLEMEN: PLEASE participate.

Second part of the Party is shopping Other Peoples Property. Get yourself loaded with the Best in Vintage. We have an extensive collection of vintage clothing, shoes, jewelry, bags and much more. This is your chance to get some fantastic and one of a kind vintage pieces!

Bring a canned food item and get $5 OFF your purchase of anything at Other Peoples Property!

***Please note that a percentage of everything sold will be given to www.charitywater.org. Because, over One Billion people don't have clean fresh drinking water. We think that's important & we hope you do too. Plus we have a whole section in which we give 100% to Mission of Hope in Haiti. www.mohhaiti.org***

The left over clothes will be donated to Dress For Success. A non-profit that helps women get interview appropriate clothing and tips. Please check them out: www.dressforsuccess.org. The BETA Center for teenage moms www.betacenter.org and local Homeless Ministries.

The more the merrier so please invite all of your stylish friends!

PARKING: Orlando Brewery, Atlanta Ave, and side streets.
