Did someone say clothes swap? And it's for a good cause? Well, alright!

Hello Fabulous Austin Women!

Do you love free clothes, giving back to your community and have 2 hours to give?
Then we have an opportunity for you!


We are pleased to announce the 2nd annual Austin Women's Clothing Swap. This event is being held Saturday March 6th from 12pm to 6pm at Soma Vida 1210 Rosewood Avenue, Austin, TX 78702.

We are looking for some great, friendly women to give 2 hours of their time to the crew of their choice. We need volunteers to...

* Sort clothes and re-stock clothing racks
* Set up and decorate the venue
* Model in the fashion show
* Assist with break down and clean up of the venue
* There will be child care during the event. Experienced and enthusiastic volunteers are welcome for this special crew!

The set up crew will be working the night before (Friday March 5th) from 6pm-10pm and in the morning (Saturday March 6th) from 10am-noon. Breakdown and clean up will be from 6pm-8pm. Aside from the "giver's high" that you'll get from volunteering your time, Volunteers are eligible to get first pick of the clothing and will be invited to a post event celebration and volunteer appreciation party!

If you are interested and available to volunteer the night before or day of the swap please rsvp to crm78704@hotmail.com

Austin Women's Clothing Swap is a fun, fabulous and eco-friendly event that empowers women to support each other through community. Your donation of time and clothing will benefit Women for Women International, Safe Place and Feminist Action Project. Last year this event raised over $1,300 for the Fistula Foundation and 2,000 pounds of clothes for Safe Place!

We deeply appreciate all clothing donations and your attendance at the event - there will be live music all day, tons of free clothes, free haircuts and clothing alterations, a raffle, silent auction and more!

You can visit our website at www.AustinClotheSwap.com for details on clothing drop off locations, sponsors & beneficiaries, last year's event and more. (And remember this is a female-only event!)

We look forward to hearing from you,

The Swaparistas
