[ShareTompkins] Help spread the word - Swap this Saturday!

[Shira Golding]

hey folks,

below is the revised info about the swap this saturday - a bunch of  
local groups have come on board to table and there are plans for live  
music! i'm also attaching the flyer. feel free to print it out and put  
up copies - we're hoping for a big turn-out...

if you have any tables, chairs, tarps or canopies that you can lend us  
for saturday, you can drop them off at my place or ideally, bring them  
to the swap. and let me know if you can volunteer  - we could use some  
help with tabling, keeping things running smoothly and clean-up:

SHARE TOMPKINS COMMUNITY SWAP MEET #4
Our biggest swap yet!
Saturday, Aug 29th 1-7pm near the Farmers' Market

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 - she's got a warehouse  
with 25 years worth of salvaged construction materials, fixtures,  
antiques and more. Bring your own goods and services to give-away,  
sell, or barter. Check out live music and meet local groups including  
Finger Lakes ReUse, Ithaca Carshare, TCLocal, Ithaca Freeskool,  
IthaCan and Ithaca Health Alliance.

DIRECTIONS/PARKING: Walk or drive down the 3rd Street extension across  
Route 13 towards the Ithaca Farmers Market. Turn left at Carpenter  
Circle before you cross the railroad tracks. Go to the end of the road  
and take the gravel path off the circle towards the warehouse. Park on  
the grass on the right.

You can post haves/wants before the event on Facebook or to the Share  
Tompkins email list (see below).

Guidelines:
- Our goal is sustainability - please bring stuff that is locally- 
grown or made from local materials
if possible.
- Be prepared to take back home with you whatever you don't end up  
bartering or giving away. Left-over items will be recycled or donated  
appropriately.

repaired - no junk!
