Sustainable Saratoga Regift-athon: Tues Jan 24th

Passing along a notice of Sustainable Saratoga's monthly meeting, to be held tomorrow, Tuesday, January 24 from 6:30-8:30, at the Saratoga Springs City Hall, 3rd floor Music Hall,
featuring a Regift-athon Swap Meet, fashioned after the ideas of 'freecycle', a way to recycle and reuse clothing or household items which have outgrown their use for you, 'One man's garbage is another man's treasure.'

PRESENTED BY:
Sustainable Saratoga's Local Economy Committee

WHAT: Community exchange of items
WHEN: January 24th 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Community Meeting starts at 7:15 p.m.
WHERE: Saratoga Springs Music Hall (3rd Floor City Hall) 474 Broadway
DETAILS: If you receive a gift this holiday season that you think someone else might enjoy more, bring it to the regift-athon! A regift-athon is a swap of items between community members without an exchange of money.
