August 2011 Newsletter

Thank you to all who participated in our successful Fall Cleaning Sale. I believe this was our largest turn out of seniors and product. With lots of newbie seniors this year. We had so many happy shoppers and heard of a few unhappy customers too. If you have concerns from your rummage sale purchase, please contract the store with the seller info on the price label. Although Island Scrapbooking is not responsible for the rummage sale items, however, we do care about your satisfaction. We will contact the seller on your behalf if you request. Thank you for your support of this big event. Overheard many customers saying they look forward to this sale all year... (well you know since the Spring Sale.) Thanks again for making this a successful event. Usually the Spring Sale is in March so stay tuned for details.
