Irving Grange Community Market

Your board of directors met Friday night and approved the bylaws. We did hear from several members who were unable to attend the meeting and we’ve had significant help from some of you in the Facebook/website update, but we need more member support for this market to continue. There is still lots of room for improvement and so lots of opportunities for everyone to pitch in.

Irving Community Vendors have a surplus from 2013 that we can budget for advertising. We want to use it wisely, so the first consideration is do we have vendors for the market on May 17. We will pay for the paint and a small stipend for someone to paint our wooden signs with the market name and dates for 2014. Needs to be done NOW!  And we need vendors to commit to doing the May market so we know we have something to advertise. Flyers will be designed shortly and available for download or already printed up if you come get them.

IRVING COMMUNITY VENDORS

Planning meeting Wednesday, February 12

7:00 p.m. at Irving Grange

ANOTHER INVITATION TO ALL MEMBERS

After our annual meeting last month, our first task was to get dates approved by Irving Grange. The Grange agreed to an indoor market March 22 (potentially the crafter swap meet), the monthly outdoor markets May to September (third Saturdays), and the indoor holiday market in November. There is interest in doing a spring indoor market, but finding a date was a problem.

Last year the Grange waived rent fees so we would have advertising money. This year they are willing to negotiate on rent, but we need to make a proposal and meet with them before we hold a 2014 market.

THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN:

We need at least one person from the club to help with each event or we just won’t do it. We could really use help with the website and our Facebook page. If you are willing but can’t attend on February 12, or you’d just like to talk about the market, please contact one of us:
