11/20/2004: "Mission Market"

Today we are holding a church bazaar or the benefit of our mission budget, featuring craft items from the third world. It has been a lengthy and exhausting process getting to this point. There are many church members involved, they don't all see eye to eye, and many of them, I think, have never been involved in retail from this end. I have arranged the church hall, put out all the tables, and watched them fuss over the details of display. We have a lot of stuff to sell, as far as value, but not much in the way of under-the-counter stock. Open ten to four today, twelve to four tomorrow.
