Used Book Sale
The
Catoosa Home Education Association (CHEA), Chattanooga & Northwest
Georgia Christian Homeschoolers, and Homeward Spirit Home Educators
(Dalton) have all joined together for our second annual Used
Book/Curriculum Sale on Tuesday, May 20th! All homeschoolers are
invited to come and sell your curriculum and other homeschool related
materials. Sellers are asked to come at 1:00 pm to set up.
Then from 1:30-2:00 pm the sellers will shop. The doors will open
for the buyers from 2:00-4:00 pm. You may bring your own table or
rent one from the church. There are a limited number of tables
available. Cost is $5.00 for a table rental, which will go to the
church. There is no charge for bringing your own table.
Each seller can only bring or rent one table! Each seller will be
responsible for cleaning up their area, including table and
chairs. Please contact Kim Walden at cheaprez@yahoo.com to
register as a seller. You will need to give the following
information in your e-mail: your name, phone number, e-mail address (if
not readable), and if you need a table from the church. Table
numbers will be assigned in the order of e-mails received, so please
register quickly! Last year we had 30 sellers, and hope to have
even more this year. The deadline to register is Friday, May
16th. Since the sale is later this year, we will have more time
for advertising the sale, which will increase our number of
buyers. PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THE BOOK SALE!
