<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Here is an update on the progress of the yard sale after the first day. It was quite successful -- we sold a lot and have raised several hundred dollars so far. Here's hoping that tomorrow will be even better!<br>
<br></div>We have lots of clothes left but are running a little low on everything else, so if you have a chance to sort out a few things and bring them by, that would be wonderful. (Address again is 1708 Pembroke, just north and west of Robinson & 36th in NW Norman.)<br>
<br></div>It would also be very very helpful if anyone had another popup or two that we could borrow. We used the one that Baron Orlando brought over to cover several of the tables during the heat of the day, and I think that really made a difference in people's willingness to stop.<br>
<br></div>We are going to try to be a little flashy tomorrow, to help people decide to stop and take a look. Danr is going to set up our Viking a-frame. I will be wearing garb and spinning (although the garb and the wheel won't match). Bo may be able to come and demonstrate leatherworking. So feel free to come and be part of the attention-grabbing. We do have a nice shade tree to sit under. The sale will run from 8-2 again, with setup starting at 7:30. We were able to just walk the loaded tables into our garage although there is NO ROOM at all to spare, so setup should go faster than it did this morning.<br>
<br></div>People were very interested in the reason behind the sale, and we heard lots of tornado stories. Valena got us pictures of Loemax's and Koke's houses to put on the donation jar and they were quite the conversation starters. We are really hoping that tomorrow will be another good day.<br>

To make for a more professional sale, especially since it is a benefit you may want to consider a ticket system where items are written up on tickets (available from Copeland's) and cashed out at a central cashier who is set up at the entrance-exit. This will also provide hard records to document what was sold and exact income. Each salesperson has a ticket book on a clipboard (makes it easier to write) and when the customer cashes out, they keep the yellow copy and the top copy goes in the box. Vigdis if you want to pursue this get hold of me and I will show you the "standard" way we write tickets at Estate Sales.<br>
