Are you ready? Spiders’ Market is almost here! March 23-24th, 2012 Albuquerque Garden Center 9-5 Friday and Saturday

Spiders’ Market, the Las Arañas Guild’s Annual Sale is coming up! Make your plans now to participate. We have simplified the process, so there are just 2 easy steps:

1. Complete a Consignors sheet for the register. Nancy Bouillard is assigning numbers for the Annual Sale. We are sending out instructions and consignor sheets via the email that you can download and mail in. All consignor sheets have to be received by the guild meeting on March 1st. No Exceptions! There is one new change this year. Since there is a period between when the Consignor Sheets are due and Inventory Check-in, some “fudge factor” needs to be allowed for items you might finish or sell or give away. A limit has been set of 20 items listed on the Consignor Sheets, but not checked-in with no penalties. If 21-30 items are listed on the Consignor Sheets but not checked-in, then 20% extra (making it a total of 40%) will be deducted from the proceeds from any sales. If more than 30 items are listed on the Consignor sheets but not checked-in, then NO ITEMS FROM THE CONSIGNOR WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR SALE. Consignor sheets and instructions are being mailed or emailed with this newsletter. Contact Nancy or the Newsletter editor if you need more. Remember, the deadline is March 1st.

2. Pick the shifts you want to work. Everyone will need to sign up for two 4 hour shifts. You may have another adult substitute for you if you are unable to make it, but you are responsible for the hours being covered. Due to no demonstrations being offered, we ask that only adults sign up to work. Signups for shifts will be at the February meeting. We have lots of areas to work in: set up, check-in, floor sales, security, check-out, take down. We have slots for each day, in four hour blocks. On Friday and Saturday, we are assigning areas as you arrive to work, so please be flexible! If you are unable to make the February meeting, you may sign up by contacting Cindy Ruiz at cindyrz@comcast.net or by calling her at 293-6832.

Sound easy? It is! Any questions? Contact Teresa Franklin at tlfdesigns@hotmail.com.
