SHCC Used Uniform Sale at August Meeting
If you are interested in selling your gently used, outgrown uniforms, please bring them at 6:30 P.M. before the parent meeting on August 28th to lay them out on tables. Please pin a small envelope to the item with your full name (for those writing checks), the amount you’d like to charge, a description of the item, and size. Example:
Timmy Brunner
$6 boy’s blue shirt size: large youth
The buyer will insert the amount you request and leave the envelope with payment in a box or manila envelope you provide with your name on it. This will work best if you bring lots of five and one dollar bills with you to use as payment. You can shop for items among other sellers and then check your box/envelope before the meeting starts or after it ends.
