consideration



Hello,



I'm submitting wording for FB and the website about the swap table, and
would like to present this at the meeting tonight.  We can add info at ccga
for questions, comments.



As Julie suggested no tickets are necessary, just a volunteer or two at the
table which would best be among the vendor/exhibitor tables.





*CCGA steps into the ‘sharing economy’ with a Garden Goods Swap*



Consumption trends are changing, and "gift exchange" – sharing items – is a
way to live more economically. We think gardeners are experts at thrift
exchange rather than trashing what they may no longer use.  We know that in
nature there is no concept of waste, simply something in the wrong place.



Bring your gently used, clean, garden related item – whether a pair of
gloves, a hand tool, a rake or shovel, gardening book or unused journal, a
small plaque, a potted herb, a clay pot – anything you’d like to swap at
our conference. We’ll have a table set up for this garden goods swap.
Anyone who brings something can take something in exchange.  Swap as often
as you see something put on the table, but always leave something.   It's
best to bring an item that can be carried easily, no lawnmowers or compost
bins at the table.  When you choose an item it must be taken from
the table, our volunteers cannot hold items for you.



All items left at the end of the conference will be given to a  charitable
donation organizatio. Anything that is recyclable will be recycled.
