AUGUST 29TH - SAVE THE DATE!
SHARE TOMPKINS COMMUNITY SWAP MEET #4
Our biggest swap yet!
Like sharing? Have skills? Bring goods and services you'd like to
share, and you'll be able to barter, give away or sell your offerings
to other community members. The more we can provide for one another
locally, the closer we are to sustainability!
Saturday, August 29th, 1-7pm
At Cynthia's warehouse:
742 Cascadilla Street, Ithaca, NY
No entrance via Cascadilla St - please see directions below...

Our fourth Swap Meet will be hosted by Cynthia Yahn of Aeon
Development. She's got a warehouse with 25 years worth of construction
materials, fixtures, antiques and more. If it's raining we might
reschedule so check the Facebook event page for updates.
Feel free to also bring potluck dishes and refreshments that can be
shared during the Swap!
There will be live music and other surprises!
