Jumble Sale @ Plaza Damas (27th of May, Sunday)

Dear Raleigh-ians and friends,

CK and I are organising a Jumble Sale to fundraise for our upcoming (which is happening very very soon!) expedition Raleigh International Sabah Summer 07 Programme. Here are the details:

When?!

Date : 27th of May 2007 (Sunday)

Time : 10.30am - 10.00 pm

Venue : Plaza Damas, Sri Hartamas (flea market area)

Contacts : Kar Lye - 012 201 8829 or CK - 012 385 2051


What?!

Second Hand Items are needed...

We intend to sell good second hand items. We are looking for several hand-down items which we think most of you will have kept[or somehow forgotten! :)] somewhere deep in your storeroom, backyard, living room or even your own room.


1. Electrical appliances i.e iron, table lamp, blender, alarm clock, basically anything that works when the power supply is passed through...

2. Kitchen ware i.e plate, punchbowl, hangers, cookie jar, un-used pots, pans, cutleries...

3. Sports items i.e tennis/badminton/squash/ping pong racquet, basketball, netball, volleyball, soccer ball, hockey stick, dumbbells, swimming goggles, bicycle, once again any sports equipments that are still in considerably o-kay and sell-able condition...

4. Others i.e photo frames, cute-looking, antique accessories, perfumes, bedding items, toiletries (unused of course!), souvenirs from people who went round the world (and somehow... you don't want to use it for some reasons....) and lots more others miscellaneous items...wall calendars, clocks... must I say basically anything and everything under the sun? :P

5. Food i.e yessss, we will be selling food, and we need people to contribute edible food ;). If there's anyone out there who can bake some good-tasting cookies, cakes, cupcake... sweet stuff, or make a punch out of a mixture of drinks... based on your creativity and of course, with one condition, -no food poisoning case shall be reported- :)


We are collecting toys, clothes, books as well, but please do us a favour, just spend 2 seconds of your time, rating if the item can actually be sold off and then only pass it on to us. Thanks!

*PS: If anybody has any kind of contacts with shops that can give us a consignment deal, it will be 101.25% appreciated. Please direct this shop owners to us. Or even better still if there are any companies out there who are willing to donate any items to us.
Currently I have secured a consignment deal for this pretty-looking crystal ball for decoration, if anyone wants to catch a good deal, please drop by as well.

Who?!

Volunteers are needed...

Transport
Cars to collect the donated items from various donors before the
event AND from our collection place to Plaza Damas on Saturday. Further details will be sent out as soon as possible regarding the collection point.


Man-Power
We'll need lots of help! This includes the selling of the items on Sunday (27th of May), the actual one-day only jumble sale fair! I have heard a fair amount of Raleigh-style business tactics, I'm sure with *YOUR* help, we will be able to sell more and hopefully EVERYTHING! :)

Another section of the "who?!"....
CK and I are volunteering ourselves by spending 10-weeks of our lives embarking on a Sabah expedition which will begin on the 4th of July -11th of September. Our target will be RM3500 each, which will be supporting the whole 3 months that we are going to be in Sabah. For the next one month or so, both of us will be profusely looking for any kind of help that can lead us to more funds...

Finally,

How?!

Please call/text us if you would like us to pick the junks up anytime from the time when this e-mail is being read. It would be better if you guys happen to be around our area, and can drop the items to our respective homes which are in Sentul and Brickfields (KL Sentral) area.


Lastly... (First there was a "finally", but this is for real...)
I'm sorry for the very late notice, but I really hope to get as much out of this Jumble Sale. Please please please help in anyway you can, we will be so grateful and will be assisting the future Raleigh fund-raisers. That's a promise. Please try to reach us in whatever way you can, we will answer phone calls, reply text messages as well as e-mails. By the way, my e-mail address is karlye22@gmail.com and CK's ckleong@hotmail.it. A big huge thanks to ALL who will be contributing their time and items.

Cheers!

Kind regards,
