First Congregational Church will Host a Tag Sale09:00AM / Tuesday, July 29, 2008
Williamstown - On Saturday, August 2 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. the First Congregational Church of Williamstown will host a tag sale exclusively for ladies of style who wear a size 16 or larger. Three boutiques will feature plus-sized fashions collected for the famous fall ABC Clothing Sale, as well as clothing owned by Gail M. Burns, and the family of Jackie Felix.
This is the first time ABC has separated its plus- and super-sized fashions into a separate sale. This sale is in addition to, not instead of, the popular autumn ABC Clothing Sale, which this year is scheduled for Saturday, September 27 at the church. That sale will feature some larger-sized ladies’ clothing, as well as menswear and linens, but this August sale is a special opportunity for BBWs to stock up.
This is a great opportunity to find that “Interview Suit,” stylish clothes for work and play – maybe even that “Mother of the Bride” outfit you’ve been seeking – all at bargain prices. Sizes range from 16 to 36 and bargains will abound. Separates and outfits from high-end plus size retailers such as Ulla Popken, Making It Big, Junonia, Love Your Peaches, Silhouettes, and more will on sale for $25 or less. All of the clothing is gently worn but in excellent condition.
In addition, Burns will offer some shoes, jewelry and accessories for sale.
Sales from the ABC boutique will benefit the Greylock ABC, a local chapter of the national program of A Better Chance Inc. Founded in 1968, the Greylock chapter supports up to eight young minority men and women from urban areas who live with resident directors at the ABC House on Hoxsey Street and attend Mt. Greylock Regional High School. It costs $520 per day, every day of the 180-day academic year, to support the local ABC scholars through fundraiser such as the clothing sale, ABC Room Service, and the ABC Biennial Arts Auction.
The doors will open promptly at 9 a.m. (no early birds.) For more information, call the Church at 413-458-4273 or e-mail fcc.willi@verizon.net. |
