April News

reminder: new location: 2943 E. 12th.

WE MOVED (in January) Come by and see us at our snazzy new building. If you haven’t been in yet, you will be amazed at the difference – natural light, climate control, working bathrooms…it’s pretty luxurious over here. If you came in during our first few weeks, come check out all the improvements and new merchandise that have arrived since then.

For example, you could pick up a:

Hello Kitty coffee maker
Vintage wooden texas postcard
Kit for developing 35mm film
Marbles : 4 for a $1
Hoop Skirt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoop_skirt)

SALES
Buy any clothing with a yellow tag, get another one free. This deal is all month long, but it’s a better deal right now: tons of choices this week, by the end of the month they’ll be mostly gone.

EVENTS
Would you like to hold an event in our space? Meetings, book groups, shows, fundraisers, parties, etc are all welcome. We have a movie screen and projector, a small kitchen, and a 3000 sq foot awning outside. Start here: http://www.treasurecitythrift.org/events

Volunteer workday this sunday (see below)

VOLUNTEER
We would love for you to be a part of what we do: supporting other grassroots organizations, reducing waste and increasing re-use, and building collectively organized community. Come join us for a weekly shift or a special project.
We’ll also be holding a special volunteer workday to install some new fixtures and sort through a backlog of clothes –volunteers get first pick and a 20% discount. That’s this Sunday April 4th at the store, 11am – 5 pm.

We can always use donations of good quality, gently used clothes, furniture, and household goods. In addition, we’re looking for:
Black Ink cartridges for our workcenter m24 xerox machine
Sharpies, scotch tape, packing tape
Donated advertising in your publication or email newsletter
A down payment to purchase our building. Really, that would be great.
2 large pieces of plywood for our new sign

set back from the road behind a fence, so we're a little tricky to spot! Look
for a pink taqueria at Harvey St on your left, we're across the street from it.

We’ve moved to our new location, and will be open for business there on Monday, February 1st, but this saturday, jan 30th, we want to see your face one last time at our OLD location 1720 e. 12th. We’ll be there from 10am to 4pm…come have a cup of coffee, pose for pictures amid the ruins of the old treasure city, marvel at how big the space is when not crammed full of stuff, and help us clear out the very last of our rad merchandise, which will be on sale for 25 cents a piece -that includes a few pieces of furniture and many items we pulled out of hiding during the move.
