ST. CHARLES CHRISTIAN HOME EDUCATORS USED CURRICULUM SALE
Thursday, June 12, 12:30-3:30 for buyers
Grace Community Chapel, 7661 Mexico Road, St. Peters, MO 63376
Anyone Can Buy and Sell Books. This sale is not limited to SCCHE members.
Costs are minimal. All money paid for selling books or for Early Bird Admission will be applied toward the Widow and Orphanage Funds. SCCHE will pay for the use of the building and any incidental costs of the sale itself.
Envelope Pricing: Books are priced "envelope style" and placed by subject in various rooms throughout the church. (The rooms are labeled.) Volunteers are in each room to help shoppers and to monitor the books. To purchase books, you take the books that you want to a central table in the foyer, peel the envelopes off of the books, put the appropriate amount of money in the envelopes (cash or check unless seller specifies "cash only"), and then seal the envelopes. The envelope is then turned in to the "cashier" in the payment room. Envelopes are filed alphabetically and can be picked up by the seller when seller wants to pick up.
There will be limited space available for those who just want to be at a table to sell their books. Round tables will rent for $10. There are about 8 round tables available. 8 foot tables will rent for $12. There are only 4 or 5 available. If you want to sell your books at a table (you sit at the table) you need to let Phebe Martin know by May 23rd. After May 23rd, any available tables will be opened up for vendors to rent. To reserve a table, contact Phebe Martin at phebem.scche@gmail.com or (636) 939-3225 (e-mail preferred) and then mail a check to Phebe for the rental of the table. Please include your name, e-mail address, and phone number with your table reservation. Because of the limited number of tables, reservations are not secured until Phebe has your check and information for table reservation in her hand. Phebe's address is:
Phebe Martin
3021 Arrow Rock Dr.
St. Charles, MO 63303
Final confirmation of your table will be sent to you via e-mail and will not occur until your check is received. If you do not have an e-mail address, please include a self addressed stamped envelope with your reservation, so Phebe can mail you table reservation confirmation. Obtaining a table on which to sell your books (instead of selling envelope style) will occur on a first-come, first-served basis. Most tables will be needed for books that will be sorted and sold envelope style. You will be notified if all reservable tables have been filled.
All sellers will receive an "Early Bird Shopping" ticket on the day they check in to set up your table. They may have as many as two tickets if they have two people working at your table. We ask that you remember that all money generated by table rental and ticket sales goes toward widows and orphans.
Vendor Tables: Vendor's tables will be $30 and will not be available until after May 23rd, giving homeschoolers the time necessary to rent table space if they so desire. Vendors' tables will be round. Vendors may bring in their own tables, space available. Cost for space: $30. Contact Phebe Martin if you are interested in a table.
Book Pricing Fellowship (Wednesday 1:00 to 3:00 p.m). If all this sounds too confusing, or if you would like some fellowship while you price your books, please join us for an afternoon of fellowship and book pricing at Grace Community Chapel. Volunteers will be available to help you price your books. You can then leave your books at Grace so that they can be placed in the appropriate rooms. The price for selling envelope style when you leave your books on Wednesday afternoon is $5.
Volunteers Needed; If you would like to volunteer in any capacity, please contact Margaret Porch at sccheleaders@gmail.com / phone 636-441-5470 or Phebe Martin at phebem.scche@gmail.com / phone 636-939-3225 (email preferred in both cases). When you email, please include your phone number so you can be called back. Volunteers needed to help price books donated to the widow’s / orphanage fund. Many of these books will be dropped off early. Contact Margaret Hibbeler at 636-939-9755 or / st_charles_hibbelers@yahoo.com to volunteer to help price widow / orphanage fund books.

A Creative Expression With August Maytas
St. Louis Artists' Guild Members: $75.00
Non-Members: $90.00
Acrylic or Oil paint.
Light lunch included
Learn to listen to your inner-self then courageously express what you find within. Apply paint to canvas without concern for criticism or the opinion of others. Join us and learn color, form, and how to paint with creative expression.
The very creative process itself involved in the making of art is healing and life enhancing. Many people, young and old, of all ability have found a tremendous sense of growth, and personal satisfaction through the process of painting with expression. Unlike traditional painting, which has the stigma that it must be completed "perfectly", Creative Expression painting differs both in approach and intent.
Questions on supplies may be addressed to the instructor: August J. Maytas, Jr. Email: Reed_stj@yahoo.com or Phone: 314.469.8663
To Register, call the St. Louis Artists' Guild at 314-727-6266 or email askus@stlouisartistsguild.org ; for more information visit www.stlouisartistsguild.org
