The leader for my planned program for December just fell through and I am
wondering about substituting with the swap meet idea, most recently
mentioned by an Apple Corps (Dallas) leader. It seems to me that if we start
the publicity immediately, it could work on a last-minute basis. In the past
my club has done an auction, but it's more administrative headaches than a
swap meet would seem to be ("seem," I say, because we've never done one).
I would envision a swap meet similar to a flea market, in that the club
would supply space and tables and individuals would bring whatever they want
to sell and would put it on tables for others to see and buy or make offers
on. To help with the club treasury, the club would take a cut of the sales.
This would be on an honor system, or at least the first time so we can
evaluate if we need to have more paperwork.
I'd like to ask those of you who have done this to feed back suggested
modifications, pitfalls, etc. for my idea. Keep in mind we are a small
group...what's needed for San Diego or Dallas isn't necesarily needed by us.
Also, if you do this and keep some of the money for the club, what
percentages or straight fees do you use?
