A few women in the Mamasource comunity have expressed interest in participating in a women's clothing swap (and clothing drive for needy women in the greater Albuquerque area), so here are some details:

"SWAP-N_MEET"
Saturday, September 30th
10am-1pm
Rio Rancho, NM
(Because of limited space in my home, Mamas only please)

I hope to have women of all sizes participate. We will swap 1 item for 1 item ( so if you bring 10 items, you can take home 10 items). All left over articles of clothing will be donated to a women's charity in the greater Albuquerque area.
Please bring only items that are clean and in good condition, (hangers encouraged).

If you are interested in participating please respond to this request by
Saturday Sept. 23 with this information:
Name
Size
# of articles to be swapped
Name of women's charity you'ld like to see helped

I will keep a running total posted until the 23rd and then send my address and directions to the women who have responded.

I look forward to hearing from and meeting you.
C. T.

I think it is a great idea. However, if it so happens that few are interested, I have a better place for those clothes than Goodwill. I bring my clothes to a women and children's shelter. At these places, theydon't have to pay for the clothes, and you know it will go to someone who really needs it. I personally feel Goodwill has plenty, and then charges. These women have little and are unable, in most cases, to pay. Just a thought for those clothes you can't seem to swap.

That is a great idea, but Iva is right about one thing... we should all be about the same size or have A LOT of different women there if this is going to fly. Had you thought about how to make that work? Let me know. I am definitely interested.

Good morning C., where do you live anyway and what is your sizes?? I also clean out my closets and most of the time I would take them to goodwill or savers but they turn around and charge an arm and a leg for them to woman who can't afford them. Why not start our own clothing store on line - almost like purchasing it on line... but we have to know what others want. Great idea for you to run the store. Just a thought... by the way my name is I. im in Abq, NM - 3 children - dau (15) son (12) son (9)...

C.,
I'm interested. Let me know when and where.

Is this just for women's clothes or kids also? I vary from a size 9 to 18 (what a range, huh?)
I might be able to make it
