Bring your gently used, but
still in good condition (very important), clothing, shoes
and accessories that you've been meaning to get rid of ... You
know ... stuff you would pass on to your best friend.
You MUST put
your clothes on hangers. At the Clothing
Exchange, select new
to you and fabulous items for $1 each!
Enjoy wine and cheese, tea and chocolate, see old friends, make
new ones, bring new members, but, HEY, do not bring the
kids! ..... seriously! This is an adult only, female atmosphere....
Members: We will need volunteers
to help with the event and wrap up afterward and to haul the
aftermath (clothing donations) to Penn House. We usually have LOTS. So
if you can help, contact Emili. See you there!
Another great idea.....
The Diaper Pantry
The Ballard Center/Penn House has a Diaper Pantry!! Parents can access the Pantry once a month but they are currently low on supplies. So, please consider donating:
*Diapers – all sizes and shapes but especially size 3, 4 & 5
*Wipes
Take your donations directly to Ballard Center, 708 Elm Penn House, 1035 Pennsylvania
