Sunday, May 15: Moving Day - 3 - 4 hours
We move equipment from the Shelter to the Fairgrounds. We need strong people and vehicles such as trucks and vans to transport sawhorses, clothing racks and supplies. Meet at the shelter at high noon and expect to be finished by 4 p.m. Bring work gloves.
Monday, May 16: Set-up Tables - 2 hours
The plywood for tables will arrive on Monday. We need a few strong people to help put the tables together. Meet at Kesler Hall on the Fairgrounds at 2 p.m. Bring work gloves.
Tuesday, May 17: Orientation for new volunteers - 1 hour (or less) - NEW!! Brand-new volunteers - or volunteers who worked their first year last year - are especially encouraged to attend a short overview of the opportunities the sale offers for your time and efforts. Any volunteers welcome. How can your interests match our needs? (6:30 PM at Kesler Hall at the Fairgrounds)
Thursday, May 19, through Sunday, May 22 - Donations Accepted at Kesler Hall
Help unload cars; sort and price items. On the weekend, all hands will be asked to help unload cars (those with able backs) and greet donors (those with less-able backs) to better manage the overflowing driveway and control the drops.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, May 23, 24, 25 and 26: Final Sale Preparation
Organize, organize, organize; check pricing: set up check out, and learn to run the registers. We sell more when we're organized.
Friday and Saturday, May 27 and 28: Sale Days!
Help keep the place organized; move merchandise from floor to tables; run registers; help the public. Early birds begin unloading the storage trailers at 5:30 a.m. A pizza and salad lunch will be provided for volunteers around 11 a.m. each day. We will take turns. Sale is Friday from 7 a.m.-6 p.m.; Saturday 8 a.m.-6 p.m., with bag sale at 3 p.m.
Saturday Clean-up
We'll start consolidating merchandise and tearing down tables as the bag sale begins to thin (bag sale starts at 3 p.m.), but the two long sale days mean we'll leave as soon as we can after 6, leaving most of the cleanup for Sunday. We need people to help us bag the remaining clothes and sort anything that is left into recyclable and Dumpster piles.
Sunday, May 29: Building Clean-up and Recycling
After a good night's sleep, the sorting of leftovers continues into recyclable, donate and Dumpster piles. Cardboard will need to be flattened. We finish taking down the tables and stacking the plywood and sawhorses. In the afternoon, we'll start moving equipment back to the shelter, so we need trucks again and more bodies.
Monday, May 30: Building Clean-up and Recycling
Cleanup & recycling continues. Trucks are needed again to relocate supplies to CCHS.
Tuesday, May 31: Building Clean-up and Recycling; Load Plywood on Trucks
At about 10 a.m. we need strong people to load the plywood into the truck. We'll also wrap-up the cleaning of Kesler Hall, return the remaining supplies to the shelter, the cash registers to Blum's, and the carts to Schnuck's.
Note: once again this year we'll have tasty "potluck lunches," lovingly prepared by other CCHS volunteers, on drop-off and final set-up days. On the sale dates we'll provide pizza and salad lunches for volunteers, and a county-fair style food vender will be on site for volunteers and the public.
