First of all, thanks to everyone who helped with this last season. Move-outs went really smoothly (maybe smoother than move-ins!). Thanks to Sean, Tyler, and Aaron for helping carry all the heavy stuff down from the 3rd floor apartments.
More thanks to the guys for keeping up with everyone we loaned to them last year in such a big way. We have never gotten so much of our stuff back before... we have a really good start already for next year, and won't have to replace too much. Thanks so much guys!!
Now, on to this year's list... this list is a very rough estimate of what we will be needing. We won't know what size bedding to buy until right before the players get into the apartments next Fall. We get a good discount from Target when we buy that many at once, and it helps that everything is the same (so that no one is getting anything better than anyone else's). So if you want to help out in this category, money is always appreciated!!
If you have any items to donate, please email us at rowdycrowd@aol.com and let us know and we'll make arrangements then to get the items from you at a future booster club meeting or some other time. Also, email us if you have any questions about anything, or want to know the specifics of how the apartments will be handled this year.
Two good, inexpensive places to look for items are garage sales and flea markets. Wal-Mart and Target, also, of course. You can usually get some nice reusable plastic plates and cups there for cheap, and recently they've been doing "Sidewalk sales" with insanely cheap prices on good items (a box of 40 glasses for $2.50).
