AUGUST 29TH - SAVE THE DATE!
SHARE TOMPKINS COMMUNITY SWAP MEET #4
Our biggest swap yet!

Like sharing? Have skills? Bring goods and services you'd like to  
share, and you'll be able to barter, give away or sell your offerings  
to other community members. The more we can provide for one another  
locally, the closer we are to sustainability!

Saturday, August 29th, 1-7pm
At Cynthia's warehouse:
742 Cascadilla Street, Ithaca, NY
No entrance via Cascadilla St - please see directions below...

Our fourth Swap Meet will be hosted by Cynthia Yahn of Aeon  
Development. She's got a warehouse with 25 years worth of construction  
materials, fixtures, antiques and more. If it's raining we might  
reschedule so check the Facebook event page for updates.

Feel free to also bring potluck dishes and refreshments that can be  
shared during the Swap!

There will be live music and other surprises!

DIRECTIONS/PARKING: Walk or drive down the 3rd Street extension across  
Route 13 towards the Ithaca Farmers Market. Turn left at Carpenter
