Clothing Exchange Scheduled

Here's the scoop.  I am doing an exchange to kinda help things out while Robin is recouping.


Date:  January 30th  11- 2pm

Hanfield United Methodist Church

101 North 400 East
Marion, IN 46952-8519


(this is very easy to get to, Just off 69 about 4 miles.)

We will go by the same rules and setup as Robin's church!

Hope to see you there!!

Hug Hugz, Tracy

Can you go over rules and setup for us newbies--please!!!  And thanks for organizing!

whoooooooHOOOOOO trac!!!!
im soooooo excited that its comin our way!!!
yay!!!

 Bring your clothes that no longer fit.  Clean, unstained and not torn please.   We separate them out by sizes.  We usually have everything from 4-5x to size 6, plus shoes, purses, etc.  The clothing is sorted as you arrive.  No early shopping allowed.  We need to keep it fair for everyone attending.

We all bring a WLS friendly dish to share, and have lunch.  We will eat at 12:00 sharp.  I will need some volunteers to help bring bottled water, flavors, paper plates, napkins and such.  So if you dont want or cant transport food... that is another option.

Then, we go "shopping"!  Even folks that have not had surgery yet can come.  Those that have had WLS surgery get to shop first - then after 15 minutes, it is open to all.  We welcome all donated clothes even for men or children.  There are always family members that can use clothing too. 

Any leftover clothes are donated to a thrift shop that is the main support for the homeless men's shelter here in Marion.  Please bring some canned goods to donate to the church pantry in exchange for allowing us to use the church.

We get to meet up, have some fun and fellowship, and take home a bag or two of clothes to boot!  You can even bring protein and things like that, that you've found don't work well for you.

We usually do this about 4 times per year - January, April, July, and October.

This is an awesome event that has really served our OH family well.  Please come with a positive attitude and greet everyone the way you wish to be greeted.  Emotional support is just as important as any other part of this journey we are all on.  I hope you all enjoy the fellowship.

Thanks Christie for allowing me to "steal" your post and use it for the bulk of this notice.  LOL

LOL!  I thought I was having an attack of deja vu reading this post!!!  Now I know why!

It would be sooo great to see ya!  I will pray that you can make it up!  :)
