We'd like you to be a part of the SPRING SALE!

(You DO NOT need to have children enrolled in the Highland Presbyterian programs to participate.)

You will receive 70% of the selling price on your items and the programs will receive the remaining 30% (to be used for supplies and scholarships).

When you consign or donate, you gain access to our famous Presale!

Donations are greatly appreciated.

To consign or donate you must fill in an online registration form. Click the online registration button.

YOU MUST REGISTER FOR A SELLER NUMBER IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE ONE! IF YOU HAVE USED ONE IN THE PAST, USE THE SAME NUMBER. You can find your Seller Number on the mailing label of the post card you received)

Please EMAIL us at Info@KidsSale.org to request a Seller's Number or if you have any questions. Those of you making a total donation do not need a seller number. Simply drop your donations (no tagging needed), on the stage in Fellowship Hall between April 7th and April 16th, 2008. Email us for a tax deduction form.

Clothing must be SPRING AND SUMMER CLOTHING only. We take girls and boys, infants to size 16. The clothing must be on hangers, hung with the hook pointing to the left. Facing you, the top of the hanger looks like a question mark. Clothing must be clean, no holes, no stains, no missing buttons. Sets should be pinned securely together or pinned to the same hanger. Shoes, socks, accessories, etc. should be placed in a zip-lock bag with an index card placed inside. We can email you an example of the the index card.

Maternity Clothing and Items can be from any season.

Toys and equipment must be clean and in good condition with all parts intact. Any items that require batteries should include them. Masking tape works best to hold the index card in place on these items.

DUE TO LIMITED SPACE AND QUALITY CONSISTENCY, WE ASK THAT YOU BRING ONLY YOUR BEST ITEMS. We reserve the right to refuse those items that do not meet our standards.

Please follow these instructions carefully!

Safety pin (no stick pins) a 3x5 index card VERTICALLY to each item, either on the right side or to the inside neck tag for delicate material. Click here to see an example of an index card. Please make sure your index card does the following:

Your Seller # goes in the BOTTOM LEFT hand corner of the index card. We are NOT responsible for your earnings when you DO NOT put your Seller No. in this position on the card. If you put it on the top, it MAY get cut off.

Use numbers for sizes, not small, medium, large.

Price (which you determine), is usually 20-25% of the retail price. Use $1 increments only. A felt tip pen works great, or create your index card tags using a Word document on the computer.

Put a "ND" (no discount) in the lower right hand corner if you do NOT want a price reduction at the 50% Off sale on Saturday. If you want your items to sell at a discount, leave the lower right hand corner blank.

Put a "D" (Donate) in the top right-hand corner if you would like to donate the item to charity, should it not sell. Leave the upper right hand corner blank if you ould like to pick up the item after the sale.

Furniture, equipment, and toys must have all their parts. Small parts should be in zip-lock bags attached to the main item. Attach the index card using masking tape.

**SALE POLICY CHANGE: We are getting out of the "hanger business".  In the past, we've had hangers for pickup in the gym before the sale for previous sellers, but we are no longer able to easily store hangers on a long term basis.  You may get plastic children's hangers at Target and at other area local retailers.**

The book sale and bake sale will be held in the basement; running simultaneously with the children's sale. We will be selling all kinds of books and magazines (not just kid stuff). The bake sale and donated book sale is very popular and is a good place to showcase your favorite recipe! 100% of the donated book and bake sale revenue go to the Kentucky Refugee Ministry. Please take this opportunity to clean out the finished reading material lying around your house. Of course, you may still consign kid books if you desire. You may bring them in at drop-off or anytime during the week of the sale. Put them on the stage in Fellowship Hall prior to Wed. April 16th, or in the dining room after. If you would like to donate a baked good for KRM to sell, please contact Liz Kaznack 568-6913.

Our partnership project with Highland Community Ministries and the Kentucky Refugee Ministry after the sale is perhaps the most meaningful aspect of the sale. Several KRM refugee families and other invited families in the Highlands area connected with HCM (with small children and limited income) come and “shop” from our donated items, simply taking what they need. For those of you who have never donated your leftover items in the past, we really encourage you to consider doing so (with some or all items). This project is an important mission for Highland Pres and gives real purpose to our efforts.

If you wish to volunteer, please EMAIL us or call Ann Holmes @ 452.1444. For seller # (or any questions), please EMAIL us: info@KidsSale.org.

If you would like to speak with a person, please contact Amy Cullen at 384-8888.
