August 9, 2012 - New Membership at the Farmington, CT Pottery Barn

Hello all -

I got a call last week from the Pottery Barn in Farmington – at the West Farm’s Mall.  They had several products that we picked up and distributed with more to come.

In particular, there will be rugs available in future – 5x8 and 8x10 generally.  Wool, Jute and Sisal.  Plus floor models of various summer displays.

Please let me know if you wish to be put on the list of products that are available at Pottery Barn so that I can check the “list” and make distribution easier for Liz and me.  We will attempt to take pictures so that you can view the rugs online.

By the way, Liz, who retired recently, has been volunteering for this program for the past year.  We alternate pick ups, sorting and distribution.  She has taken quite a load off. . . .  So thank you Liz.  We gratefully accept and appreciate all helping hands, as this program takes shape.

We continue to have our membership with the Pottery Barn in So. Windsor, but the Farmington store is much bigger and will provide more products.  The membership with the Farmington Potter Barn was a $250 expense, and we’re in.

In September, the insurance payment will be due and the registration for the Jeep.  Any donations that you can make will be greatly appreciated.

One of our members just donated a utility trailer – will pick up this weekend and do whatever maintenance that is necessary (lights, tires, registration etc.)  This will remain in CT so that it will be available for larger pick ups. And now I can have the one we’ve been using back in Vermont.   Thank you so much – Deb, Steve and Beth for thinking of us.

So, this week home depot

Char Broil brand gas grill Precision flame burner system – it’s a replacement part.

Home Depot is storing 12 foot plastic siding??? Not too sure what it is, but will pick up next week with utility trailer.

I’m hoping that there will be another Pottery Barn bonanza next week!!  So get those lists in, as my aim is to NOT store stuff here.  Will be bringing up bags of rags to Vermont this weekend for those of you who requested them.

It’s gratifying to see this project grow and continue to run smoothly and efficiently.  Thank you all who help in the many ways that you all do.  Tell friends and let’s add more to the mailing list.  Good on us all!

Many thanks, Mary and Liz

Time to Raise some Money

Well, it’s spring and June will soon be here, so it’s time to renew our annual fees.  Home Depot, $650 for sure and we’re still thinking about the Pottery Barn ($250).  And we need money for capital expenses – the truck.  That would be for insurance, registration, inspection, and gas.  So, dig deep and send what you can.  For those of you who have received products and those who will in future, we encourage you to give a bit each time you receive.  A dollar here – a dollar there.  It all adds up.

Make checks out to “Stewardship Project” and Send via post to:

Thanks in advance for your ongoing generosity.  M

Am attaching a picture of our donated Jeep!!  She’s a beauty and runs like a champ.  So, for your enjoyment, here are 3 pics of Liz and my day

When I got to Home Depot, one of the guys was throwing away, yes actually Throwing away! 2 pallet movers, (check out the back of the truck!) whatever they are called.  They have wheels and pick up a pallet and raise it up – move it around!  The coolest.  So, needless to say, but I’ll say it anyway, they went into the back of the truck.  Now I can move stuff without killing my back!!!

On to today’s delivery:

Got  a whole lot of sealers From Miracle Sealants Company

Grout sealer for walls, floors and counter tops (about 10 different kinds) - many are the same.  Cleaners and polishers and sealants.  Great for anyone putting in tile or if you have any natural stone that you want to clean and/or seal.  The site below shows their products, and we have almost all.

If you’re interested, email me for more details.

Also, got a lot of “Zep” foaming alcohol hand sanitizer.  A lot.

September 8, 2011 - Vermont Flood Relief

As many of you know, I’m from Vermont and live in Southern Vermont.  Although I, personally, did not suffer from Hurricane Irene, most of Southern Vermont did.  Including my home town.  The roads and bridges were washed away etc.  But most heart wrenching are the personal stories of whole houses being washed away, including one in our area.  People having nothing to start over with.  And as is the case in so many areas where the economy is in hardship, many of the people were uninsured or under insured.

I am asking for contributions of clothing, bedding, household goods.  Anything that you have and do not need.  I will bring them up to Vermont and leave them at this wonderful thrift shop - Twice Blessed – Marianne is gathering these items and, as a long standing member of the community, has set up a method of distribution.  So drop by goods whenever you can, on the front porch.  I’ll be in CT Thursdays to Saturdays, so best to drop them by end of week.  If you want to contribute money, make it out to “Stewardship Project” and we’ll get the cash to them.  But mostly, bring your goods.  I'll be making the trip up to VT on Saturday, September 17th after noon.  So please bring stuff to the office by then.

Stewardship Project Truck for pick ups:  Truck that was donated did not work out, so keep an eye out for a donated vehicle or very cheap that can hook up to the small utility trailer and make the weekly pick ups.  Thanks.

Home Depot pick up was slim this week.  A large sliding glass door screen, the ‘grill’ work for 2 glass doors, that is the wooden grill that makes a full piece of glass look like small panes.  That’s about it this time.  I’ll be picking up next week.  Sue is on vacation, so small pick up.


Anything that is still left over by September 17th will go to Vermont

That’s about all there is.  “all the news that isn’t”

Truck

Wonderment of wonderment.  A truck has donated her truck for the Stewardship Project.  It needs some work but it will be exclusively the Stewardship Project’s.  The catch is that this means yearly registration and insurance and gas.  So, we are asking that when you receive items from the Project, you make a small donation.  That way expenses will be covered.  They would be $600 a year for the Home Depot Annual Fee, $250 for the Pottery Barn which may or may not be renewed, the registration and insurance and maintenance of the truck and gas.  If we all give just a little, a dollar, five, whatever one wants to give, then we can save up and have it in our budget.  I’ll know more about annual amounts once we get the prices for insurance and cost of fixing the truck up.

Anyone out there who is a mechanic and will offer his or her services would be great.  Then we would only pay costs of parts.  Or even reduced service costs.

Thank you for the truck
