GIVE YOUR STUFF AWAY DAY!

Saturday, September 25th, 2010

TODAY IS GIVE YOUR STUFF AWAY DAY!

Yes, it’s true – a real, live national holiday started by one man….he is asking people from all over the country to gather the things they no longer need and place them curbside so that other people can benefit.

If I may be so bold as to suggest — how about just gathering the items and then driving them to Goodwill or Salvation Army or phoning one of the many local charities who may be interested in your ‘stuff.’ (Until word spreads about this holiday, I’m concerned that people may be fined or tattled on due to misunderstandings of what they appear to be doing).

Use “GIVE YOUR STUFF AWAY DAY” as the perfect time to do what you’ve probably been wanting to do for quite some time.

And if you are interested in spreading the word about this day to others…. check out www.giveyourstuffaway.com.

PS – If you are reading this AFTER September 25th, then you are encouraged to celebrate this new holiday whenever (and as often as) you wish!
