**Please remember that no children will be admitted during early shopping hours. How to get early shopping privileges:

1. First Time Moms: Because new moms need so much, and we have it all at great prices, we offer special shopping hours for any first time mom who is pregnant or has a child under one. Please click on the First Time Moms link on our homepage and register for early shopping privileges. New moms can begin shopping at 6pm.
2. Teachers: We love teachers and want you to have the early opportunity to purchase great items for your classroom and for your family. Just show us your school id as you enter and you can begin shopping at 6pm.
3. Guests: Each consignor will receive one guest pass to give to a friend. Show us your Guest Pass and you can begin shopping at 7pm.
4. Volunteers: We couldn't have this sale without lots of help - it is essential. To thank our volunteers, we now have more opportunities for you to shop early. These times allow our volunteers to get first pick of all the wonderful items for sale. We welcome moms, dads, and grandparents as volunteers. We will have a list of volunteers at the door, so you will not need any kind of special pass.

Please look at all of the volunteer opportunities listed below and consider how you might be able to help. You can qualify as a 6 hour volunteer in the following ways:

  1. Volunteer for a 3 hour shift on Saturday, March 15th anytime from noon until 6:30.
  2. Volunteer for any two 3 hour shifts.
  3. Volunteer to work one 3 hour shift PLUS volunteer in one of the other ways listed below.

If you are unable to help during the time you signed up, or follow through on how you have committed to help, please let us know or find a replacement. We are counting on your help during this time. Volunteers who do not follow through on their commitment will forfeit their opportunity to volunteer at future sales.

WAYS TO VOLUNTEER

Work at the sale
We are in need of many volunteers to assist us throughout the week. Volunteers (including spouses) can sign up for one or two three hour shift on a first-come, first-serve basis. Days and times are listed when you click on the link below, and you will be allowed to choose which time is most convenient to you. Out of fairness to all sellers and buyers we ask that our volunteers refrain from grouping items for future purchase as they volunteer before the sale. Any volunteer who does this will forfeit her opportunity to shop early and volunteer in the future. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this. Please click here to sign up for a time slot

Advertising
We need help getting the word out about Twinkle Twinkle. If you have a contact at a Preschool, Mother's Day Out or Daycare, or any other organization or activity (dance, karate….) that specifically involves moms or children anywhere in the area, we need your assistance. If you can help us advertise through that program you will qualify as a 3 hour volunteer. Locations will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once signed up you may either copy the flier off of the website and make copies, or pick-up fliers from a designated retail location. Email us at twinkle@twinkletwinklesale.com

Tables
We are in need of more tables. If you can bring 3 or more 6-8 foot tables on Saturday or Sunday this will qualify for a three hour shift. Email us at twinkle@twinkletwinklesale.com

TV or Radio Spots
If you can arrange for us to be on the local news or radio during the week of the sale, this will qualify as a three hour shift. Email us at twinkle@twinkletwinklesale.com

Invite two new consignors
Invite friends to be new consignors, and if two or more participate for the first time you can earn an additional 5% on your consignment items. This adds up and can be a great benefit to you. One way to make this easier is to email a flier or our website link to your friends. Let us know by emailing twinkle@twinkletwinklesale.com or by telling us when you drop off your items and we will designate your account to earn 75%.
