 Happy Anniversary, Spirals!
Hard to belive our doors have been open a year. And, what a year it has been. Our displays are now filled with unique and wonderful clothes, jewelry, accessories, household items and furniture from generous donors and hundreds of consignors. With our reputation growing through word-of-mouth, consignors and shoppers regularly come from the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, Stockton, the Central Valley and beyond. As much as we are grateful to our customers from afar, we are most appreciative of you, our neighbors, donors, consignors and shoppers who see the value of supporting local non-profits, in particular, the Alliance on Aging. You pop in regularly to say "hi," see what's new, have an adventure and shop! We look forward to your visits and appreciate the important role you play in our success.
To celebrate Spirals' first anniversary, a one-time 10% discount on all merchandise is offered (through the month of October only) to people who mention reading this ad in @aoa.

Annual Support Campaign Update
In Week Three of the Annual Support Campaign we have raised $59,045! Two weeks left to reach our $106,000 goal. With an incredible team of volunteers led by Chair Sally Green and with the support of many generous donors in our community, we have every intention of making this goal. These dollars support direct services to seniors. Too many of these seniors are valiantly struggling in these tough economic times and AOA services are making a big difference in their lives.
So if you get that call, we hope you will consider a gift to the Annual Support Campaign & will give as generously as you can.
Special Thanks to our team of volunteers:
