January 19th -Wretched Excess Party  Noon until 3 PM

Black Hat Casual Attire

What an interesting and fun way to begin the new year by removing excess from our closets and homes! Ade and Chucky are planning a Wretched Excess Party at Linnie Pflieger’s home at 336Shirlwood Drive, Schenectady, NY 12306.

Here’s how it works:  Each person attending brings up to five (5) items she no longer wants. Items can be clothing, shoes, accessories, jewelry, home goods, or red or black hat items. The items must be in good to excellent condition and usable; i.e. no junk!  We will have a lottery where each gal will draw the same number of tickets as the number of items she brought. Tickets will be numbered and gals will “shop” according to the numbers on their tickets.  Any leftover items will be donated to the Mohawk Opportunities Community Donation Table for the Homeless. 

Tea, tea sandwiches, and dessert will be served. Please RSVP to Ade or Chucky by January 5th so we know the headcount. 

Hope to see you at my house!
