“New” at Angels
We have more great news!
The long awaited cubicle shelving has been made and installed.
A huge thank you to Richard Wood – he donated his time to make
the shelving at his workshop and deliver it.
With the help of Robert Britt, Allen Vass and Stan Hawkins,
placement was an easy task!
Answered prayer.
Now you may wonder why the excitement for some
cubicle shelves. This may be
one of those instances that you would have had to see “before” to really
appreciate this significant difference.
In distant past, we folded jeans on long shelves – looked great
in the beginning; however, as the shopping day went on, more and more of
those jeans became mixed with other sizes on the shelf.
A stocker and customer headache!
Then about a year ago, we decided to hang and size.
That was an improvement as long as every customer returned the
hanger to the right spot (more often than not that did not happen).
Mixed sizing along with twisted hangers and jeans falling to the
floor . . . . A long time
idea has been to have cubicles built to accommodate the waist size for
both men and women’s sections of jeans.
We were so pleased to hear the comments, “looks
great!”, “thanks – that’s so much easier”, “wow, looks like a real
store!”. And we sold many,
many more pair of jeans and dress pants Friday and Saturday!
The cubes have the size on each shelf – one row for jeans the
next for dress pants of the same size.
Come on in and stock up jeans and dress pants - $1.00 a pair
–awesome! The men’s 2 row
cubes are directly under the hanging shirts and sports coats.
An added perk – space for men’s hats and caps on top of the
shelving.
We had 33 people attend
the Volunteer meeting last Thursday.
I shared a passage from Luke – the sowing of the seeds:
As you recall, some
Fell on Good
soil – yielded a group 100 times more than was sown!
That’s us!!
Not any ONE of us but ALL of us!
Sure sometimes there is a weed, maybe even a thorn,
sometimes the path is trampled and, well, if you grow anything in
Floyd you know we have “rocks”.
Nearly 12 years of operation– over $750,000!
This good soil has yielded 100 times what has been sown.
We are all a part of that - each of us and every one of those
that have gone before us over these 12 years.
Volunteer meeting notes
will be posted on our website.
There are some points to note:
· beginning February 1
any item without a price and not listed on our generic price list will
not be sold that day – it will be available the beginning of the next
business day. Our volunteers
will make every effort to check the current inventory and get everything
priced and remove yard sale stickers (a pricing which we do not honor).
We have borrowed this idea from Goodwill Thrift stores.
We are asking our shoppers to alert us if you find un-marked
items in the store. Truly we
are all partners in this ministry.
· We
will begin sending email alerts to our customers of upcoming sales and
specials. You are invited to
send your email address to
kgboyd@swva.net to be included or sign up in the store.
· We will end January
sales with featured special of
woven baskets, women’s
blouses and sweat pants and
sweat shirts. On Friday
and Saturday all baskets displayed will be priced at 25 cents, all
blouses and sweats will be 50 cents.
After Saturday, these items will be removed from The Attic and
the next week, these categories will have new to us merchandise.
Watch for February featured items.
We now have two dining room tables with extra leaves and one vintage
round table with extra leaf (priced reduced). We just added another 30+ coats to our inventory as well as
winter hats, scarves, gloves and even insulated coveralls.
Our Men’s department is growing in popularity.
Work and dress clothes at rock bottom prices.
Jeans and dress pants:
$1.00; Dress shirt: $1.50, belts, ties, socks, pj’s, underwear –
get a sports coat for $4.00 – the whole suit for $6.00!
Add shoes ($2.00) or boots ($3.00) – (generic price list is
quoted here).
Angels’ Bounty returning
on the third Wednesday of February!
Thanks to Allen Vass for his willingness to coordinate the
setting up, the entertainment and the clean-up!
We hope all our volunteers will be back in full force as we
reinstate this ministry. God
provides.
Have a great week – we’ll see you at the Attic!
