Greetings, Everyone:
Here is the info regarding the yard sale again for you. We are prepping for the yard sale and would really like your help with promoting it. Load up your van with friends and family, and come on out and do some holiday shopping, too. Who knows what treasures you will find!
Also, below is the flyer code for your myspace profiles and web sites...please post it ASAP and help us get the word out. Please email me if you prefer the actual jpeg and I will email it to you.

Below are the guidelines which have changed just a bit.
• The hours for the sale will be 8AM-2PM and the sale will be at 6918 Heritage Place in Acworth, 30102. It is located just of Kellogg Creek Road, not too far from Bells Ferry Road. The house is small, but the yard is large and there is a side lot that is available and a pretty long driveway that we can line with tables and displays.
• We need volunteers throughout the day to assist with selling merchandise. If you have a retail background, we would love your help. You can work all day or just for 2-3 hours, whichever suits your schedule. Please email SergeEnt@... and let me know what time you would like to help us out. So far Kevin Carlson, Margaret Swarts, David McBee, Mark Waterbury, Carol Cloud and myself will be there to help.
• We will setup at 7AM so we are ready to start selling at 8AM. We will not accept early birds; sales begin at 8AM. We will need volunteers to help with setup and breakdown as well. See above.
• We also need volunteers to help spread the word around the internet and to distribute physical flyers around Cherokee County. The jpeg flyer code is above. We ask that you please post our information on your myspace pages, and internet garage/yard sale web sites. If you would like a jpeg instead of the code, please email me and I will send it to you. The jpeg will be printable so you can create your own flyers and put them in strategic places in your neighborhood and workplace. Keep in mind that we could potentially have 15 or more families involved in this sale! So there will be plenty of items to choose from. And with the economy the way it is right now, a yard sale is good place to find treasures at a bargain. One man's trash is another man's treasure.
• Please donate or consign your items for this yard sale. Items for the yard sale can be dropped off at 6918 Heritage Place the week of October 20th - late afternoon or evening hours. Please email me at SergeEnt@... to schedule a time to drop off your items. You may donate your items to the CCMS; or you may place them on consignment in the yard sale and donate 10% (or more - whatever you designate) of the selling price to the CCMS. Items can be anything from books to clothes (baby clothes sell very well) to furniture to musical equipment to computer equipment to housewares, etc.. Anything that is in good condition. Items that are donated do not need to be tagged but any consignment items you drop off must be tagged with the selling price and your 3 initials on the same tag with the selling price. When you drop off your items, we will ask you to sign a release statement for us. If you prefer, please bring a list of your items and we will attach it to the release form. Please indicate on your list if the prices on the priced items are fixed or if we can barter.
• If any of you would like to bake and donate baked goods (cookies, candies, bars, pies, cakes. etc.), we can also sell these at the sale. Each item must be individually wrapped as a whole or in individual servings and priced with your initials. We will have hot cider, coffee and water available as well. Again, if you prefer to donate the items, great! If you want to make some money, then all we ask is that you donate 10% to the CCMS, and we will pay you the difference for any of the baked goods we sell.
• Any items you consign for the yard sale that are not sold must be picked up the week of October 27th and must be off the premises before October 31st or they will be taken and donated to a charity such as The Cherokee County Humane Society or Good Will; OR they will be disposed of as the board members see fit. Musical equipment may be donated to a music charity.
• Restrooms for the yard sale will only be available for CCMS members who volunteer to help. Customers and others must use the gas station down the street (this is for everyone's protection).
• We encourage you to please tell your friends about the yard sale and ask them to support us. All monies we earn from this will go toward the CCMS compilation CD (after expenses are deducted). We are running a classified ad in the Cherokee Tribune. We will also strategically place yard sale signs nearby. Flyers have been placed particularly in Woodstock and Acworth by us. We have decided to use the money we make to first form our 501 c 3 as we have two people who want to donate sums of money to help us.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for all your help!
