Fall CAMOMC Consignment Sale Is Sept. 26-27

Monday, September 22, 2008

The largest fundraisers for the Chattanooga Area Mothers of Multiples Club each year are the spring and fall consignment sales. Funds raised at the fall sale, slated to be on Sept. 26 and 27, will help to fund all programs and events for CAMOMC this year. In addition, CAMOMC also donates a portion of the proceeds to great causes.

This fall, a portion of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to local hospital neonatal intensive care units to assist them in whatever they need. NICUs are near and dear to the MOMs (Mothers of Multiples) because many have had children who have spent time in them.



CAMOMC sales stand for quality items. This is a great opportunity for our consignors, vendors and customers to get great deals on baby gear, like double and triple strollers, crib mattresses, bouncy seats and exersaucers, quality children's clothing and shoes, maternity items, toys, household goods and much more! All items are inspected prior to the sale and only new and gently used items are accepted.

CAMOMC sales are open to the public and have no admission charge. The fall sale will be held at the East Ridge Community Center, 1517 Tombras Ave #2. Sale hours are Friday the 26th, from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. and Saturday the 27th from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Half price shopping hour is from 1�2 p.m on Saturday.

CAMOMC is dedicated to the support and education of mothers and expectant mothers of multiple birth children. CAMOMC's membership base is from Dalton, Ga., to Athens, Tn., centering on the Chattanooga area.

It is not by coincidence I haven’t submitted an opinion piece in some time to the Chattanoogan.  The topics I cover are generally vitriolic in regards to local political decisions and their makers regarding public safety and I do not wish to associate my name with more noble subjects such as that of the heroic death and cowardly murder of Chattanooga Police Sergeant Tim Chapin, ...

Thank You, Judge Mattice And Chattanooga

I would like to thank Judge Mattice for handing down a 30.5 year sentence for Kathleen Mathews.  Obviously, no amount of jail time, fines, or lashings can bring back Tim Chapin.   A 30-year sentence will, however, make the world just a little safer.  That's what Sgt. Chapin would have wanted.  He was a protector and sacrificed his life so the rest of ... (click for more)
