Art Show 2020 - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
|
Get ready for the 2020 "Cossitt Creates" Art Show which will be held from 6:30-8:00pm on Wednesday, March 4th! Doors 1, 5, and 6 will be open.
The success of the Cossitt Art Show depends on parent volunteers to help set up and install all of the amazing artwork our kids create. We need more volunteers to help with set-up, especially the second shift, and also clean up/break down after the event. Please consider donating your time to ensure that this worthy Cossitt tradition can continue!
|
| One Hour = $$$ for Cossitt! |
Did you know that over 100 volunteers are needed to plan and execute each Cossitt Clothing Sale? In less than 24 hours, our awesome volunteers will help sort, organize, and hang over 20,000 items for sale day on March 14th. Within a day after the sale ends, thousands of items have been distributed to charities, unsold items have been returned, and sellers have their checks in hand. The sale is an event that every Cossitt parent should witness to fully understand how it has become a community tradition and Cossitt PTC's largest fundraiser.
Sign up for a three-hour shift here to gain access to the best items at the presale the Friday night BEFORE the sale:
Spring Sale One Hour Sign Up
Card stock for seller tags is now available on the front porch of 222 S. Kensington Ave. Please take only what you need.
Need to clean out your closets but don't want to deal with the hassle of hanging and printing tags? Clothing donations are being accepted until noon on March 8 at 416 S. Edgewood. 100% of the profit from donations goes to Cossitt. We also appreciate donations of wire hangers and large safety pins!
Visit our website to register to sell, or to view important dates, deadlines, and more.
