PRE-SELLING POLICY Every
year there are varying opinions over the pros and cons of pre-selling items to
volunteers. Some of the concerns that
have been raised are: 1.
People donating the items never see them at the information regarding whether they were
sold, or went missing, or how much money they brought in for
the church. This stops some people from donating expensive items. 2.
As normal human beings, we all enjoy finding a good bargain. However, if volunteers buy items for less
than their fair value, then the church is losing out. 3. If all the "good stuff" is gone
before the doors open for the will stop coming. 4. When some volunteers allow pre-selling and
some don't, the inconsistency creates problems and hard feelings amongst the
volunteers. THEREFORE,
THERE WILL BE NO PRE-SELLING PRIOR TO SATURDAY. As
a concession to our Garage Sale volunteers, they will be allowed to shop one hour before the doors open to the public ( BRING DONATIONS TO THE SIDE DOOR ANY WORK DAY
