CONSIGNMENT SALE OF CHILDREN'S
ITEMS IN WINSTON-SALEM, NC
GENERAL INFORMATION AND
VOLUNTEER HELPER POLICIES |
Organizing and putting on the
Winston-Salem area WeeRuns sale event will require the efforts of lots
of
volunteers! In addition to being fun (getting out of the house for
a few hours and conversing with adults!), your work shift will entitle
you to shop early…before the Friday crowd and ALL the consignors on Thursday night! We ask only that you commit to one
4-hour shift. You may choose any available shift on any date from the
schedule of volunteer shifts (see link below).
Or you may wish to be a VIP
helper. Our VIPs shop before anyone else, on Wednesday, March
17
(5:30 - 9:30 pm). These special helpers commit to two volunteer
shifts. One of these shifts MUST be a breakdown shift (Tuesday,
March 23 - Wednesday, March 24). In order to ensure an exceptional
shopping experience, we can accept only a small number of VIP
helpers.
We’ll also need some strong backs for fixture set-up and breakdown
shifts on Saturday, February 27; Friday, March 26 and Saturday,
March 27. You or
your
husband can earn you a VIP pass by agreeing to work just one of
these shifts.
As long as you uphold your
commitment to WeeRuns and work your scheduled shift for the FULL
four hours, you will remain eligible for future sales. In
other words, women who come late, leave early, or forget to show up
at all (even after the reminder phone call) will not be eligible to
sell, help or shop early for future sales. If you find
that you will be unable to work your scheduled shift and notify us
of this before Sunday, March 14, we will TRY to find someone to
work your shift for you. However, if you either don’t notify
us, or fail to notify us by the March 14 deadline, we have no way to
fill your shift for you; therefore, this responsibility becomes
yours. You will need to send someone else to work your shift.
Of course, whomever you send will be allowed to shop the Helper Sale
in your place. If you do not send someone, again, you will
become ineligible to help or shop early in the future.
We suggest that our volunteers wear comfortable, but
appropriate, clothing for the shift(s) they have selected, and bring
their own snacks and drinks. Work aprons and nametags will be
provided.
