On Sunday ר"ח תמוז, ,June 13th, Bnos Chomesh Academy will be holding its first flea market event. Over the past 3 months, the school has collected new, and new-condition items that people have lying in their closets, but have no use for. Unopened sets of china, pots and pans in their original packaging, beautiful housewares and clothing some still sporting original tags were donated to Bnos Chomesh in anticipation of their sale.
Thought there were no new ideas out there? Think again!
On Sunday ר”ח תמוז, ,June 13th, Bnos Chomesh Academy will be holding its first flea market event. Over the past 3 months, the school has collected new, and new-condition items that people have lying in their closets, but have no use for. Unopened sets of china, pots and pans in their original packaging, beautiful housewares and clothing some still sporting original tags were donated to Bnos Chomesh in anticipation of their sale.
The flea market is the brainchild of Mrs. Nechama Chanin. Mrs. Chanin is always seeking creative ways to fundraise for Bnos Chomesh. She hit upon this idea, advertised it and it took off! “I was overwhelmed by the response,” she said “We put out a flier before Pesach and people are still bringing more items. It is a win-win situation: People get rid of their unused items and the school benefits from them.“
”I got involved in Bnos Chomesh because I believe a school that offers small classes and lots of individual attention is crucial in these times. We are, r”l, experiencing all kinds of crises with our youth today. What better way to stem the tide of negative behavior than to create a school where the whole atmosphere is positive and personal. It makes students feel cherished and this sets the tone for a successful learning environment. When I realized that Bnos Chomesh does not have any outside funding, I took upon myself to raise the necessary funds to keep the program going. We can’t do without a school like this!“
The Bnos Chomesh Flea Market will take place on Sunday, June 13th from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm at the Chanin’s garage behind 587 Montgomery St.. (This is the first garage, as you come down Brooklyn Avenue and you enter the alley between Crown and Montgomery St). Hundreds of wonderful items will be on sale at deep discounts from their original prices.
Despite the current financial climate, and the difficulties in managing the school without sufficient monetary resources, Bnos Chomesh will continue to serve the community with an outstanding academic program and warm, nurturing and personalized learning atmosphere”, declares Mrs. Dena Gorkin, principal and founder of Bnos Chomesh. “We are blessed with an outstanding and dedicated staff that works tirelessly to see to it that every student is working to her potential.”
“We hope that even during these hard times of recession, there are plenty of people who are keen on treasure hunting and will avail themselves of our flea market. It’s so convenient–They don’t even have to leave the neighborhood!”
There is no admission fee and everyone making a purchase at the flea market will automatically be entered in a raffle for a gift certificate to Judaica World.
chana
great idea……….I have some really nice china and clothes, wigs, jewelery, books, CDs,; all of this stuff is in good condition,some brand new, some slightly used……… can I donate these items, and if so, to whom, where and when?….we are going back to Israel in a few months and I want to unload; Simply put, for me less is more; however I want to help out and I couldn’t think of a better way and place to do so.
However, I would need someone to pick up the goods (with a car) as its too much for me to carry. please advise
