=== Here’s the Concept ===

1 swappable item will get you 1 ticket to use in “the swappers boutique” (as long as it qualifies – meaning clean, undamaged clothing/accessories)*. Items deemed unswappable, along with all clothing remaining at the end of the event, will be donated to Boomerangs [www.shopboomerangs.org], benefitting The AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts. [http://www.aac.org]

=== Take advantage of Priority Check-in! ===

We’ll pick up your clothes in advance of the event, or you can drop your clothes off at our drop-off location.

To arrange for a pick-up or drop off, send an email to:
clothingpickups-BOS@theswapteam.org

To make things easier for us, we ask that you label your bags with your name, contact info and # of items inside.

* You will receive your exchange tickets with paid admission at the door of our June 5/6 event. Admission is good for BOTH days. Why not come Saturday and return on Sunday to see what’s new?

General questions can be directed to: sarah@theswapteam.org
