We are hosting a clothes swap on June 21st at the Members Lounge at the Yarra Valley Racing Center.
A clothes swap is an event where people have the opportunity to free themselves from any unwanted clothes in their wardrobe and replace them with something they like better!
The Members Lounge is located above the main office building in the racing centre, there will be plenty of parking in the under cover area, we will have signs up to guide you around the site.
Basically as you enter the Members Lounge there will be a table where you can present your goods to be donated and they will be checked over by one of the team members to see if they are of good quality (no holes or stains please!) if you don’t have anything to donate no stress! We ask that everyone pays a $5 entry fee just to start up the fundraising. We will start the night off with a presentation about the global slavery crisis in the fashion industry just to bring awareness to the situation and the part we play. All the funds raised on the night will go towards the work of Baptist World Aid. Baptist World Aid has developed the Ethical Fashion Guide we are excited to share with you how it is making a difference in communities around the world.
Following the presentation we will have a raffle, tickets will be $2 each and there will be three hampers filled with ethically sourced products.
Then the Clothes Swap will begin! You will be able to choose clothing in exchange for your tokens, extra tokens will also be available at the cost of $2 each from the table in the entry. Finger food will be served at this time. Tea, coffee and champagne ($2 a glass) will be available at the start of the night and during the clothes swap time.
If you would like to donate clothing prior to the event please contact Sally by email sally@glen.org.au
Clothes Swaps are a fun way to find new clothes while spending time with friends and the community without hurting our planet or it’s people. We hope you can come!!
