  TRADING POST UPDATE
  ADVERTISE YOUR ITEMS FOR SALE!! On the Trading Post table, there will be a bulletin board where you can post ads for items you are looking to sell. Instruct interested members to contact you directly. The ads will be removed at the end of the night but you can post again at future meetings as many times as you’d like.

  The Guild would like to offer our Members a place to Trade, Swap or Give Away gently loved quilting items.  This new "Trading Post" is replacing our Fat Quarter & 2 1/2" swap that took place at our monthly meeting.  Below are suggested items for the Trading Post and Guidelines in we hope you will all review to make it a success. Our Members at Large will be overseeing this wonderful opportunity.  If you have any questions please reach out to Jody Saulnier, Margaret O'Brien or Diane Orlowski.
  
  
  Trading Post Guidelines

  1. Bring Useful Items – Contribute items you no longer need that could be valuable to someone else.
  2. Label Your Items – Clearly write your name on each item before placing it on the Trading Post table.
  3. Quality Matters – Ensure all items are in good condition—only bring items you would be happy to receive yourself.
  4. Take Responsibility for Unclaimed Items – If any of your items remain at the end of the meeting, you must take them back.
  5. Item Limit – Each person may bring up to two items per meeting.
  6. Free for Members – You may take an item even if you didn’t contribute one.
     ​
