♥♥♥ Charity Gift Shoppe ♥♥♥ - CLOSED! - ♥♥♥ Thank you posted - Page 41 ♥♥♥

To everyone: I am updating the 2nd post (below this one) so we have a list of who we've already sent gifts to.

Before nominating someone please take the time to see if they are on that list. If they are on the list, they should not be nominated again. :wink:





♥♥♥ Charity Gift Shoppe ♥♥♥ - Lost Our Lease - Moving Sale - Everything Must Go!


Some good things must come to an end. After forty years of serving the community in this location, we are sorry to inform you that The City has condemned our old building and we must close. We are moving to a new location that is being built for us seven miles away in Twin Peaks. We are very pleased with the progress on the new building and we are on schedule to reopen in our new location sometime in late spring or early summer.

We have been pleased to donate most of our larger appliances and furniture to the local homeless shelter, the teen recreation center and the charity kitchen we support. Our games and electronics have been given to the community senior center.

However, we still have on hand many smaller items, lots of decorative things for the home, shoes for all ages, clothing for elders, art work and some baby items. Our stock includes our much sought after specialty -- the critically acclaimed work of several of our local artists, including floral arrangements, oil and acrylic on canvas works, photographs and other dazzling delights.

We have to be out of our present building in four days so everything must go! We must liquidate our stock no later than closing time, January 12.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Safety Rules and Guidelines


These are planned for the well-being and safety of all of our guests. Please read carefully to avoid confusion.

This giveaway is especially for those who have little or no access to The City Mall (SimPoints and the EA Store) but everyone is welcome.

You may post that you would like some items and we will try to accommodate your request. If there are a couple items (from what we have available) that you want the most, it would be most helpful if they are at the top of your shopping list. Otherwise, we may just surprise you. Quantities are limited to stock on hand. First come, first served.

Because of the possible crowding we ask that you only make one visit for yourself but after that you are welcome to return for friends, one at a time.

If you bring a friend, please make yourself welcome on the patio outside because we want to follow the limits established by the Fire Marshall. There may be some goodies out there from time to time.

While you are a guest of Charity Gift Shoppe, please don't abuse the store or any volunteers. Please be considerate of the others in line. No pushing and shoving allowed.

Management reserves the right to set limits on the quantity of goods available.

Again, we have to be out of the building by January 12 unless management deems the shelves are empty before hand.



♥♥ Special Note: Volunteers are welcome to participate. All donations will go to those in need. We couldn't do much without our staff and we appreciate your faithful service for all these wonderful years. If you choose to pass out an item or two please post who you have given merchandise to so we can maintain inventory control.

♥♥ Special Request: We ask that you inform us here once you've received your delivery. (Please do NOT start new threads in the forum to say thank you.) If one of our volunteer helpers has made a delivery for us, we appreciate you informing us here, at the store. Management wants to be aware of all community members who might help out with this worthy cause and we'd like to be able to acknowledge their generosity here.

♥♥ Simple English: If you would like a little gift or maybe two, post here. After you get your gift(s) you may come back and ask for a gift for your friend. You may do that again, asking for a different friend until our "store" is closed.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


♥♥♥ If you have not already done so, we ask that you might consider signing a petition we are sponsoring at this location. Thanks to all our loyal customers for your faithful support through the years.♥♥♥

A great big thank you with a hug goes to my friend, Jarroda, for helping me to see this plan through, for offering feedback and oversight to this little project in order that it might be worthy of advertising in such a fine establishment as this community website. If this Moving Sale is a success, he shares the credit and if it fails, well, we've done our best and it's probably the fault of that obnoxious pest Liam.

    Thank you to the Staff of the
    ♥♥♥ Charity Gift Shoppe ♥♥♥
    and all the Volunteers!



    From my opening post-- ♥ A great big thank you with a hug goes to my friend, Jarroda, for helping me to see this plan through, for offering feedback and oversight to this little project in order that it might be worthy of advertising in such a fine establishment as this community website. If this Moving Sale is a success, he shares the credit and if it fails, well, we've done our best and it's probably the fault of that obnoxious pest Liam.

    We did it, Jarrod! :mrgreen: Countless thanks, my friend!

    A huge thanks to everyone who volunteered at this community-wide event! For those of you who jumped in (without ever being asked to) and just started pitching in with all the work, we are all touched by your generosity and this sell-out event became a huge success because you gave!

    I know I will overlook a few in this list so I apologize for that right now. I especially want to thank our staff: Besides Jarroda, let me introduce Ellide, AndrusGifArlen, proudmama4boyz, bvrly, LilZairaGrace, blacksheba1973, mcgranor and LoveEvil. This was a success because you gave!

    Another great big thank you to the pinch hitters who generously helped support this charitable cause -- Yoda65, fulia_j, Animista, Imoger, Elfen3Warrior, crinrict, Alexurt, KayYield, gngrsnp, MsLadyTSO, Puddinroy and others who stood by with encouragement, kept the volunteers well-fed, helped pass out gifts and found other creative ways of giving.

    Hats off to all of you! This was a success because you gave!

    Look for the Grand Opening of the ♥♥♥ Charity Gift Shoppe ♥♥♥ in our new location upon completion of the building in late spring or early summer.

    Thanks to everyone who brought the people to our attention who needed some things, those who have little or no access to The City Mall (SimPoints and the EA Store), for whom this event was especially promoted. I won't name you because you are too many to name. :mrgreen:

    This post will be edited to include anyone whose name I might have missed.

    This... is... awesome! I can't begin to express how much I love the way you are doing this! *big hug*

    As for that... I'll be popping back in to do some shopping for friends.

    (If you REALLY want to gift me something, you can, it isn't like I can stop you... but you don't HAVE to, I don't expect it. I'd rather be able to come back and get things for worthy friends!)

    My friend Storix has very limited access to shopping of any kind. It would be lovely if he could become the recipient of any of your fine merchandise.

    Thank you so much! I'd like to report that the item arrived with all pieces present, and nothing was broken! I appreciate your fast delivery!

    I'm gonna go take a nap in that lawn chair over there while my friend Whisp takes a peek inside. I told her she might be able to find a lamp, as she has a great need of some extra lighting in her home. Do you suppose you could help her find one?

    EDIT: Never mind. I was able to talk a buddy into getting you that haircut you so desperately need. I think I sent it to your address on Fourth Street (the fourth page). :D

    Reach and Jarroda, What a wonderful game! Again! You come up with the most clever games, Reach :)

    I noticed you have several items that would work just great for my friend Simbologist - if you could visit her with a gift that would be lovely!

    Oops I failed to give you her address!

    I visited your shoppe just last week, so I don't need anything at this time personally!

    What a great idea Reach! Please do not worry about me since I have a wonderful hubby who buys me points from time to time however my real life sister is a single mother and not nearly as lucky as me, she would benefit greatly from such a cause.

    Thank you so much for your kindness and if there is something I can do for your cause please let me know!
