Hello all!
The sale is a mere three weeks away and I am lining up people from our
list to help out on three dates, including the date before the dale, the date of the sale, and the date
The day before the sale we will transport about 200+ boxes from their
storage place in Fluvanna to the Old Scottsville School gym. I have lined
up five people with five cars or trucks and three handcarts. We will need
additional help in putting up a lot of tables, unloading the boxes and
putting the books on the appropriate tables. Carole and Dotti have
already volunteered for that and will be there at 1 PM. We need quite a
few more. If you can help anytime between noon and 6 PM, please let me
know. There will be a fair amount of sorting since many of the boxes will
say “Mixed non fiction”.
On the day of the sale (October 9) we are looking for cashiers and floor
people (to direct customers, neaten up etc) all day. Carole and Dotti
will help on the floor from 10-1 and Lanie Bittner from 1-3.
We need three shifts of checkers and cashiers (at least two on each
shift, possibly four for the first shift) The shifts are : 9-12, 12-3 and
3-5:30.
After the sale on Saturday we need to pack up the books and stack them
against the far wall. We need to take down the tables and put away the
chairs. Please, let me known if you can help with that part. The sale
ends at 5 and we can probably stay until we are done.
On Monday we will go through the books that are left and sort them in
three or four categories:
- Books to use for the Antique Mall book shelf that Cameron Crounse will let us utilize.
- Books to be recycled (trash)
- Books to go to Orange Co. sale (we will give them those)
- Books to take to Green Valley auction.
We will also need several people with trucks or station wagons to
transport the books that are to go to Orange Co. or the auction and take
them back into storage.
To recap:
Friday, October 8– lots of people to help putting up tables and sorting
the books onto those tables (I will have signs ready). We begin at noon
and will work until we are done.
Saturday, October 9–checkers and cashiers, floor people, help to box up
the books and stacking them. Sale runs from 9-5.
Monday, October 11– sorting the books, transporting. We begin at 9 am.
Thank you!
Marianne
