Learning Resources Fair

Saturday, May 10, 2008

10 am – 2 pm

Mark your calendars for the Learning Resources Fair, formerly known as the Homeschool Traders Fair. This year we will be offering both consigned and donated educational materials--reference books, curricula, workbooks, fiction, nonfiction, musical instruments, educational DVDs & videos & audio books, educational games & toys & manipulatives--a variety of learning resources you can use to educate your family, whatever your style of homeschooling. Take time to gear up for the next part of your educational adventure at the Learning Resources Fair's one-day-only sale. Donate, sell, buy, volunteer!

This year's sale is sure to have a great selection of items both donated and consigned by veteran homeschoolers!

If you are looking to clear off the shelves to make room for next year, consider donating your gently used materials to Voyagers. A signed receipt for donated goods received by Voyagers, a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization, will be available to all donors.

If you are looking to recoup some of your cost on those expensive learning materials, consider consigning items with the Learning Resources Fair. Sellers determine their own prices and receive 70% of their total sales, with the remainder benefiting Voyagers.

We are expecting a great selection of books, texts, curricula, educational games, toys and puzzles, and more this year. There will be something for everyone--from those just starting out homeschooling to the seasoned veteran, whether your style is Classical, Charlotte Mason, Waldorf, Unschooling, etc. Whatever the interests of your family, there is bound to be something to feed an ongoing passion or inspire a new one! Come early to get the best selection!

Registration Deadline is April 25th!

Interested in Donating or Consigning items? This is a great opportunity to clear off your shelves of materials you no longer use. If you have used it to educate your family, others are likely to find use for it, too. Gently used books, curricula, manipulatives, kits, musical instruments, educational games and toys, and educational DVDs and videos are all welcome.

Donors

Your donations of educational materials are greatly appreciated! Voyagers receives 100% of the sale price of your items. Though tagless items will be gratefully received, if you are willing to tag your items ahead of time (you need not set prices--just attach tags), please indicate this in the comments area of the sign-up page, and a pdf of special donor tags will be sent to you.

Sellers

All consignors must register by April 25, 2008 in order to participate. Each consignor will receive email confirmation of his or her registration which will contain further instructions on labeling and dropping off materials. 30% of all sales benefit Voyagers, Inc. The rest is all yours! Voyagers will mail checks to sellers after the sale. Consignors are responsible for arranging pick-up of unsold items at the end of the sale.

Volunteers

Voyagers needs YOU! The Learning Resources Fair cannot possibly happen without volunteers. Volunteers who sign up for at least three hours by the registration deadline of April 25, 2008 receive the benefit of shopping one hour before the sale opens to the public to have first choice of items.

Volunteers are needed to help set up on Friday before the sale (time TBD, but likely the afternoon), all day Saturday during the sale, and about 2 hours before and 1 hour after the sale hours. People will be needed to direct traffic and the flow of people, assist anyone with special needs, keep materials neat and in their proper locations, keep track of materials on hold, check out buyers, help with resorting, and break down and clean up.

A few volunteers are also needed to help receive, sort, set up, and organize books during material drop off days. Drop off times are scheduled for
