Click here to RSVP to the facebook invite, or if you don't have facebook leave a message here! Please note since it is a teacher in service day I will be taking my sweet first grader out for the day so Janiece Todd Parsons will be serving as the swap coordinator.FAQ:
Where is this?
in The conference room at the Cordova library, the library opens at exactly 10:00 so no need to arrive early.
Can kids attend?
YES, please plan to watch them and their sweet little crumbs ;0) I will provide blocks!
Do I have to come right at 10 a.m. or stay the whole time?
NO THIS IS AN OPEN TO ANYBODY to drop in or stay the whole time event!!!
How many coupons do I need to bring?
ACTUALLY NONE, if you don't have any, no worries, we will have plenty!! If you bring coupons there is no need to have them cut or sorted.
So how exactly does this work?
I will have about 30 numbered folders, if you have any coupons you are not using, simply put them in a folder, we sit at tables and pass the folders around and you take what you want!! No need to cut or sort your unwanted coupons.
Anything else I can bring to swap?
Yes you can bring coupons city books or books themselves.
What else should I bring?
You can bring your coupon folder/book etc. if you like and we can look at how different people organize coupons. You can bring scissors, I will have some as well!
EXPIRED COUPONS FOR THE MILITARY
If you have expired coupons that you have cut from the paper (not printables). You may give those to Janiece and she is happy to send them to OVER SEAS bases. She asks that:
You cut them, and separate them between household and grocery.
Only up to month old please!
Can I bring food/snacks?
NOTE: Please do plan to watch your kiddos carefully as the library has no vacuum, I may bring a picnic blanket for them, or if someone has a small hand vac they can bring please let me know!!
If people are able/willing to bring things like that it totally helps our kiddos (and us ;0) to stay occupied ;0)
Leave a comment if you are able to bring something (don't feel obligated), you decided based upon what you see others saying they are bringing, what you would like to bring.
