The Red Door Thrift Shop Update

Dawn Jex

Dawn Jex, Red Door Manager

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are doing well and enjoying this beautiful weather we are having. We have noticed that we are having fewer shoppers as the weather gets nice because everyone is outside playing! 

Please put August 26th on your calendar for the annual Volunteer Appreciation Potluck. We will be at the Washington Park Group Picnic Shelter from 3-6. Please sign up on the bulletin board and let me know what you'd like to bring to share with everyone. We have a lot of new faces this year so stop by if you can to meet everyone and let us tell you Thank You for all you do!

Thank you to our new Red Door Committee members: Laurie, Al, Milly and Janet. We appreciate your willingness to take a little extra time to share your input and help the Red Door be the best it can be!

Specials this week are:
Women's and Men's Shoes half price.
Kitchen Appliances (toasters etc) half price.
Fancy dish sets $10.00
Hurry in if one of these strikes your fancy! Sale items go FAST!

The calendars for July are up on the bulletin board. I know we are in need of Tuesday morning Cashiers all month and we are also needing help with pricing hard goods in the back room.  We have been blessed with so many donations lately that we are having a hard time keeping up! A really good problem to have!

I am also looking for a volunteer who would like to help me do the calendars every month. This is a job that can be done from home once per month. You would need to be good with excel. 

Have a great day and hope to see you soon!
Dawn
