SmartShop is closed this Friday and Saturday.
With summer quickly approaching, Adams’ SmartShop
Committee is trying to think of ways that we can help accommodate
our families with their desire to volunteer at SmartShop and still be
home during the day with our children. Several families have
mentioned that they would like to volunteer two evenings a month
rather than during the day. We have received permission to work
on Thursday evenings from 6:00-10:00. Depending on the amount
of volunteers, we will be sorting skids, listing product, taking
inventory, and organizing merchandise. SmartShop will not be open
to the public, but our volunteers will be able to purchase items. We
would like to carpool to SmartShop in order to help our families save
on the expense of gas. Our first evening shift will be Thursday, May
28. Please call Amanda Jabaay or Trish Ophoff to sign up to help or
to receive additional information. We intend to have a wonderful
evening of work and fellowship!
