New Record Set For SWOP!

Hi everyone!

First things first, an apology to those who did not get the e-mail about the change in hours for SWOP! yesterday. It was a last minute decision to shorten the hours to 4 to 8 pm due to the lack of manpower, and we are very sorry that a handful of you did not get it and arrived late. Still, we hope you got a few nice items :)

In any case, thank you all for coming down for SWOP #3 and making it a huge success! The good news is that we have topped all our previous collections, with a grand total of $421! As mentioned, the proceeds will be going to Club Rainbow and the SPCA, and leftover clothes will be donated to the Salvation Army.

Please note that the next SWOP is scheduled for some time in September; look out for it! We will be needing volunteers for that one so if you would like to help out for that, do let us know.

Lastly, if you have any feedback on SWOP, that would be much appreciated. Did you like the Home Club venue? Should we shorten our hours from 4 hours to 3 hours? Which charities can we donate to at the next SWOP? What are some ways it could be done better? Don’t hesitate to e-mail me at wessatong [at] gmail [dot] com.

Thank you! :)

  1. Hi, think the Home Club Venue was better cos it’s more spacious & windy, centralised & there’s flea market (I bou few nice items @ $2 each!)within few steps away. Think we should shorten the swop hours too. Last sat’s swop, we saw a huge crowd appearing in the early part, & they diminish as time passed. 2-3hr will be good enuf..
