opportunity to clean out your closets and support the school at the same time! If you are interested in
consigning, you will need a consignor code. Codes are $5 each. Please come to the office to pay for your
code and pick up tags, the information packet, and a pricing guide.
If you have any items you would like to donate to the sale and give the school 100 % of the proceeds
you can drop the items off in the office to be tagged by volunteers. Only donate items that you do not
want returned to you. As you know, an event of this size can only be
successful with the help of many hands. Please help us make the most of this sale, by signing up for and
completing your required volunteer shift. If you have any questions please contact Tiffany Lay and
Briana Teller at consign4ccn@gmail.com. Those of you who have signed up for volunteer hours are welcome to
shop the pre-sale on Tuesday, March 10th from 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM.
