Follow-up for those enrolled in the initial workshop on Tuesday, March 5th

We set resolutions, we set goals, but somewhere along the way, our best laid plans and intentions fall apart.  It’s time to say goodbye to unnecessary clutter and hello to a peaceful, organized home or space.

Join us to be a part of the “30 DAY DECLUTTERING & ORGANIZING CHALLENGE” Workshop.

This 30-day checklist can give you the motivation you need to clear the clutter and start enjoying your home again.  You don’t even have to start on the first of the month, just start TODAY and follow your personal plan for the next 30 days.

As a group, with professional organizer, Sharon Knowles, we will discuss ideas for your personal calendar, ways to tackle your chosen daily challenges and ways to help stick to it.  Your challenge doesn’t have to be your home.  It can be a room in your home, an office, OR it can simply be a “Happiness” Challenge.

Join us for a creative and relaxing morning of Yoga and Mandala Rock Painting!

We will enjoy a gentle yoga practice with guided meditation and breathwork. We will discuss the meaning and history of mandalas and show examples of many different styles and examples of mandalas that you can consider painting on your rocks. Mandalas have a very interesting background! It is a sacred ancient practice engaged by Tibetan Monks and many other cultures. You’ll be amazed at what those scared circles represent and how meditative this art project can be! All supplies will be provided.

$20 for Members, $30 for Guests and Extended Family Members

Old stuff, unique treasures, family heirlooms… is it valuable or is it not? Dave Allen, owner of A&M Auctioneers and Appraisers, Auctioneer, GPPA & CAGA Certified Appraiser, welcomes us to the fascinating world of appraisals! To start, Dave will share with us how appraisals work and the different types of appraisals. After a brief Q&A, he will then spend about an hour verbally approximating the value of items brought in from our very own community!

Although attendance to the seminar is free, if you would like to participate in the unofficial appraisal portion, there is a $10 fee per item that will be charged directly to your membership account, should your item be chosen for appraisal (limit of 10 items). Please email Jennifer Greenawalt at [email protected] with photos of each item that you would like to submit for possible appraisal with a description or any information you have regarding the item. (Please note: your item(s) may or may not be chosen for appraisal. Dave Allen will choose 10 of the submitted items to appraise during the seminar.) You MUST be able to bring your item with you to class for the appraisal. Email submissions accepted until Friday, April 12th.
