Monday, Dec. 11, 7-8 p.m.

We have been open for over a month now and our second volunteer orientation is coming up right around the corner. If you haven’t been to an orientation yet and are looking for an opportunity to volunteer, join us this coming Monday for an hour of juice, (vegan) cookies and talk about the store. We’ll go over everything you need to know to staff a 3.5 hour shift and we’ll explain our store guidelines and volunteer structure. While we are hoping for volunteers to sign up to staff regular shifts, no one is obligated to make a commitment when they attend the orientation. Thanks and we hope to see you Monday.

Location:Treasure City Thrift Store, 1720 E. 12^th Street, between Leona & Salina.

Contact: Send an email to info@treasurecitythrift.org or call us at 512-524-2820 for more information or if you cannot make this orientation but would like to hear more from us in the future.

Exciting stuff is happening at Treasure City!

First, we got a new sign! Thank you to J Muzacz, the artist. We are very grateful for the visibility it provides, and it looks splendid.

Second, Treasure City was featured in Whoopsy! newspaper's "Low-Rent Shopping" guide in Issue 19, in November, on pg. 13. An awesome quote from the articles says, ""You should shop here [at Treasure City] because (1) East 12th Street really needs this kind of low-price, high-community-reinvestment business, and (2) Treasure City Thrift is a perfect example of how to "act locally" to beat global imperialism." We couldn't agree more! Thanks Whoopsy! :-)

Third, our first volunteer orientation was very well attended, and we're always happy to have the help. If you'd like to volunteer with us, we'll have another volunteer orientation in December. Check back later this week for the date & time info. Thanks so much to those volunteers who have been instrumental to the first month of success for Treasure City. We love you guys!
