SWAPKINS March 3, 10:30a - 2:30p Burnsville

 Hi all, I've scheduled another SWAPKINS March 3, 2012 10:30a - 2:30p. Mary, Mother of the Church (look for this sign) Room: The Mary Center (on the lower level) 3333 Cliff Road Burnsville, MN   There is excellent parking, building access, and there will be carts available to bring in your swap-ables and take your goodies home. Tell everyone you know! Forward this email! The event just gets better with every person who comes.    ------ Do you have clothes that haunt your closet - the clothes that don't fit quite right? Or maybe they do fit, but you don't feel great when you wear them because they aren't your style, or you just don't need them? Would you really like something new to wear? Maybe you've changed jobs or gained/lost some weight and you need some clothes, but you don't want to spend a lot to get something new?   COME TO SWAPKINS! We will have tables and clothes racks loaded with clean clothes in good condition. Clean out your closets and bring clothes to share. Check out what we've got and take home what you like. NO MONEY IS EXCHANGED. We will have men's, women's and children's clothes - everything from casual clothes to dressy. Also outerwear and accessories. The mix is different everytime, but it's always good stuff!   It's hard to explain how much fun it can be to bag up and get rid of clothes. No garage sale tagging! No bargaining with a consignment shop. Just bring them and *poof* they're gone and you KNOW they've gone to a good place.   It's hard to explain how much fun it is to walk into a great big room full of clothes and pick up anything you like and take it home, AND IT'S FREE.   We need bringers (who will bring things to share) and takers (to 'shop' the shared stuff). You can be one, the other, or both! It is not required that you bring anything to the event to take anything away. Everything at the event is free.   Email with questions. See you there! Jen   P.S. If this note was forwarded to you and you'd like to be added the the email list, send a note directly to [email protected] with your name and email address. ===   SWAPKINS is a community event that began in 2006. Participants bring clean, clothes in good condition. The clothes brought in are placed on tables marked with sizes. Then attendees “shop" the tables of clothes with sizes that they can use.  All remaining clothes are donated to charity. No money is exchanged.   This event is typically scheduled every 3 to 6 months. Most participants are from the Twin Cities area, but some do come from outstate Minnesota and Wisconsin .    

Thanks for organizing this again Jen! 

I can't stay long but I'll be there- hope it's a nice, big event!

 Yay! I missed the last one, so glad it's happening again. I need some new stuff! 

Hi Jen!
Big thanks to you for taking your valuable time to do this again!! I'm not sure if I can make it or not, I think I'm pretty well wiped out of things to donate, but it sure was nice to meet some of you "Southerners"! I may come down to just visit and help if you need it Jen!!

Warm regards,
Heidi

oh yay!! I have a whole bunch of stuff that was given to me that doesn't quite fit, but is beautiful stuff-bringing it down!

I meant to let you know of this before. Glad you found it. See you Saturday!  

Just in time!  I have some size 16 pants, a Large winter coat and Large sweater (that fit more like XLs), and a size 16 suit, that need homes :)

Oh, and I'm really looking for some lightweight clothes for Vegas in a couple of weeks, so if anyone has any Large summery shirts, or size 10P pants/jeans/capris/shorts, that they need to get rid of, I could really use them :)
