Tar Heel Treasure

Everyone’s heard stories about the great things students leave behind when they move out of the residence halls.  On Saturday,  7:30 a.m. to noon, you’ll have the chance to see for yourself at Tar Heel Treasure, http://tarheeltreasure.unc.edu, a giant yard sale in the Dean Smith Center.

8500 students moved out last week and they left a lot behind.  It’s all been moved to the Dean Smith Center, ready and waiting for you to come out and shop.  You’ll find:

  • carpets (decorative area rugs and remnants, from 5' x 7' to 12' x12')
  • bookshelves and lamps
  • clothes and shoes (priced individually and by the bag; many items still have tags)
  • housewares:  microwaves, toasters, coffeemakers, storage containers, mirrors
  • linens:  bedding, towels, sheets, pillows, blankets
  • TV's , electronics and computer printers
  • books, toys, games....the list goes on. 

Everyone is welcome andcash, Visa and MasterCard will be accepted.  Bargain prices guaranteed –we don’t want to move this stuff again. 

Besides being a fun event,Tar Heel Treasure benefits the environment and a local charity.  Last year, more than 8 tons of furniture and almost 4 tons of clothing were for sale.  For many students, especially our out of state and internationalstudents, taking college items home isn’t an option.  Left behind, theyended up in the landfill.  Now, they can be yours!

This year all proceeds will go to Habitat for Humanity’s “Build a Block” program, the campus partnership with Habitat that aims to build 10 homes for UNC and UNC hospital employees in Phoenix Place, an affordable green-certified subdivision.   Last year’s Tar Heel Treasure sale raised about $7,000 for the Eve Marie Carson Memorial Junior-Year Merit Scholarship.  Any items that remain after the sale will be donated to local charities.

But we don’t want anything left over!  Come out Saturday and shop till you drop.  It’s all for a good cause.

If you are a contact person for your neighborhood or community group, please share this with them. Better yet, make the morning a social event, and bring them with you.

Happy Shopping,

Linda

Silent (No More!) Auction

I’m working with the Family Violence Prevention Center as a volunteer for their silent auction. After I found out more about what great work they do with such a limited budget, I wanted to be a part of helping them with this important fundraiser.   I was shocked at how many people utilize their services.   After hearing from some of their clients about how much FVPC has helped them, I am convinced that their staff and volunteers are some of the “angels among us.”    The info is below.

The Family Violence Prevention Center of Orange County and UNC Health Care’s Beacon Program invite you to attend our 4th annual  Silent (No More!) Auction on Thursday, February 5, 2009 from 5:30 to 8 PM at the William and Ida Friday Center.   Tickets are $35 in advance, and $40 at the door.   All proceeds directly support services for victims of domestic violence and their families.    Purchase tickets and view auction items at: http://silent-nomore.com

Date: 

Thursday, February 5, 2009 - 12:30pm to 3:00pm

Location: 

Friday Center, Chapel Hill
