Trading Post

Our hosts at Heights Cumberland Presbyterian have OK’d the return of the Trading Post, which was popular with our chapter before we started meeting at retailers…and COVID. So, we have started it up again at our quarterly general meetings:

  • Bring your gently used sewing supplies (for example, fabrics, notions, patterns) and tools to the general meeting and leave on the Trading Post table.
  • Pick the items you’d like.
  • Cash donations are appreciated and can be left in a box on the table.
  • Any items left at the end of the meeting will be donated.
