Monday, November, 25, 2024 - Thanks for a great first swap! I made Facebook/Instagram accounts for the swap since this event seems to be a keeper. I will be distributing requested materials on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, with support from the Livingston Center for Art and Culture. The rest will be stored for the next swap, since there is interest! Twelve people raised their hands to make the next swap happen and there's $72 in the swap organization jar, which is right around what it cost to print posters, signs, and place ads, and that makes it easier next time! Thanks! I'll be reaching out to helpers this week and after the holiday to figure out what's next. 

Thanks for joining in this event. It was great to meet all of you and see lots of happy faces discovering treasures brought in from our community. 

Thanks again, Emily
