Kids' Stuff Sales on the Horizon
Late winter into spring is the time for benefit sales and consignment sales of gently-used toys, furniture, gear, and clothing for little ones. A good way to a.) find a bargain or b.) clean out your closets for a worthy cause. Here are the first few announcements of the season:
The MOMS Club of NW DC Sale & Swap will be held February 16 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Chevy Chase Community Center, 5601 Connecticut Ave. NW (Connecticut Ave. at McKinley St.). There will be children's clothing, equipment, toys, books, and maternity gear. All are welcome to shop. Club members are also welcome to bring items for sale. For more info, send email to shannolater at alumni dot williams dot edu.
Montgomery County Parents of Multiples will hold their Semi-Annual Baby/Equipment Sale on March 11 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Julius West Middle School (651 Great Falls Rd., Rockville, one block east of 270). Admission for the general public is just $1. What to expect: Clothing: preemie and up, maternity, swim wear; Childproofing equipment: gates, outlet covers, latches; Equipment: strollers, high chairs, playpens, bathtubs; Furniture: cribs, changing tables, gliders; Toys: Large and small, books, videos; Supplies: bottles, bedding, nursing. Cash and checks accepted. For info, call 301.990.3490 (before 9 p.m., please) or send email to sale at mcpom dot org.
The Northern Virginia Clothing Exchange is preparing for its Spring 2006 Sale, to be held March 31 through April 1 at Arlington Forest United Methodist Church (4701 Arlington Blvd., Arlington). I'm told it's a lot of work to take part as a volunteer/consignor, but consignors get first dibs at the merchandise, before the public shopping begins. A nice perk.
