It’s officially “Busy Season!”

I schedule the donation pickups for VH. I’m off on Mondays (Melissa schedules them then), so when I came in this morning I had a huge stack of messages on my desk.

I counted 17 messages… a sign that busy season has started. During the cooler months we get maybe ten to fifteen calls, and end up with about ten stops a day at the most.

Practically as soon as I sat down I was brought 5 more messages. (This was at 8:45).

A few minutes later, the phone rang. A few minutes after that I was brought 3 more messages.

Steadily, every ten or fifteen minutes, I get at least one more message - right now, even after calling back 10+ people, I still have just as many (if not more!) messages than I started out with!

It’s a good thing. We need donations! It’s exciting to see the pace start picking up.

You know what else is affected by busy season? We get a lot more NICE stuff at the thrift store! *hint hint*

So, two things to remember:

• We need donations!! Give me a call if you’ve got some stuff. I recommend calling 2 or more days before you want your pickup, though - we fill up FAST.
• We need you to shop our store!! So come by… you know you want to! We’ve got so much cool stuff. What’s better than getting awesome stuff at awesome prices supporting an awesome ministry?

See (or hear from!) you soon!
