Pictures of the Flea Mart

Just to prepare the class 2 Crusaders for this Fund Raising event,
I will be showing you some pictures, showcasing the Fleamart previously held.

This is what the layout of the Flea Mart looks like.

Typical stalls looks like this.

Our stall will be near the stage/arena, but there is no guarantee that there will be shade. So please bring your caps and sun glasses and water to drink.

Many items on sale her include dresses, slacks, pants, jeans, blouses, toys, and many many stuff.

Depending on the state of the items, items can be sold from between $0.50 to a couple of dollars, or to even tens of dollars, as long as the price is right for the consumer to buy.




Many of the clientele are Filipinos and a number of foreign workers, some from Bangladesh and India, and some from Myanmar.




As usual, there will be Singaporeans, some of which are friends and relatives of the other stallholders. They can also be potential customers, as they may buy items to their fancy, if the price is right.

That is all for the photos.

Now on to some preparation to the Flea Mart:


To Do List

As this activity is part and parcel of our effort to raise $$$ for our beneficiery under the GESS strategic plan, we will need your help to make this activity a meaningful and successful one:

1. Need Pictures to showcase this activity, as it will go into our school report.

2. Need all 2 Crusaders to bring as much as items as they can possibly hand carry, such as individually unwanted items that are in reasonably good and resale-able condition to the Flea Mart by 1:30pm 17 Jul 2011.

3. Need someone to come up with a simple display placard placed in front of table to showcase our activity:
- Letter by 2 Crusaders to raise funds for Xin Yuan Community Services (this letter is with Mr. Sea)
- Acknowledge with thanks BV CC for for their sponsorship of the stall for our activity
(Kendra, Weenie, Lilian - thanks for helping if you can)

4. Need Tin Can / Book to keep track of money raised.

5. The official time is from 1.30pm to 9.30pm. For safety, I suggest that ALL of us man the stalls from 1.30pm to 6.30pm (5 hours at the most). We can then have 2 shifts turns to man the stalls and have breaks in between.

6. All 2 Crusaders must be around to bring in and take back their items,

7. Most stalls will make up to $200 plus for one full-day of selling. For 2 Crusaders, we will do our best to raise whatever amounts we can and at the same time fulfil our CIP hours as a class.

Thanks for your time.
