1. Fall Consignment Sale
--------------------------------------------------------
deborahgranelli - 10/14/2011 9:44 pm

 Letter From Consignment Sale Co-ChairDear SFPOM Club
 Members,As most of you have heard, we had to make the
 unfortunate decision to cancel the Fall Consignment
 Sale scheduled for October 15th. I know many of our
 Club members depend on the sale for the great deals to
 be had, especially in these economic times. This
 decision was not taken lightly. The 6 or so people on
 the Consignment Sale team collectively put in over
 volunteer 100 hours in prior to cancelling: contracting
 the venue, designing flyers, advertising, putting up
 flyers, organizing sign ups, sending out
 correspondence, contacting venders, getting insurance,
 ordering racks, lining up ATMs, vetting ways for
 sellers to take credit cards, contacting sponsors, etc.
 It's a tremendous effort to organize and it was more
 than an unfortunate decision to have to make. This is
 not to mention the effort and hours potential sellers
 already put in and the effort it is currently taking to
 cancel the event and contact everyone we contracted
 with to let them know.In our Spring Sale we made a huge
 change to the format. We set up a tradeshow/swap meet
 style event. This was done to help our member sellers
 keep all of their profits. More money stayed in
 members' pockets. It also greatly reduced the number of
 volunteers it took to run the event. The original sale
 format required approximately 100 volunteers; the
 Spring sale format called for approximately 40. For the
 Fall Sale, we made a few more changes, and needed only
 30 volunteers. Unfortunately, we only had 12 sign up.
 We couldn't make the sale happen with only 12
 volunteers working shifts on the 2 days.Similarly, very
 few club members signed up to sell. At the Spring sale
 we were sold out, so for this sale we rented a bigger
 room that could accommodate up to 50 sellers.
 Unfortunately only 11 members registered to sell and,
 even with the handful of non-member sellers, it would
 have made for a very weak sale overall.I welcome any
 feedback you may have in reference to the consignment
 sale. Our goal is to create an event that our
 membership wants to be involved in. We will try again
 in the spring of 2012 and hopefully we will have a
 successful and fun event. If you have any comments or
 suggestions, please send them to the consignment sale
 team at: consignmentsale at sfpom.orgRegards,Deborah
 GranelliConsignment Sale Co-Chair

3. Looking for part-time nanny
--------------------------------------------------------
bakardjieva - 10/14/2011 11:09 am

 We are looking for a part-time, live-out nanny for
 afternoons and early evenings on weekdays, and
 occasional weekends. We need someone who can drive. We
 have 3 children. Our oldest son is 6 years old and is
 in first grade and an afterschool program. Twice/week
 we need someone to pick-up him up from elementary
 school at 1:50pm, bring him to an enrichment class in
 the afternoon and help with homework. Our twins are 3
 years old and are in preschool (full day). We need the
 nanny to pick them up at 4pm 3x/week, drive them home,
 help with dinner and bath time. We are estimating the
 need for ~20 hours/week on a regular basis, and would
 like to find someone who is looking for a long-term
 position. Recommendations for a particular person or
 how to best find someone like this are appreciated.

4. Portable Potty
--------------------------------------------------------
rockchalk90 - 10/14/2011 9:26 am

 Hello, just checking to see if there is anyone that
 wants to get rid of their portable potty. We have a
 little girls soccer team that would benefit from one
 because the bathroom is on the other side of the field.
 Please let me know. Thanks!!

 I have one you can have. I got it from someone else,
 but never used it since we put our youngest on a toilet
 insert instead. I live near CPMC on California.
