Hospitality Shop Operating Changes
The Hospitality Shop Auxiliary Board wants to thank the Sewanee community for a bountiful year! The Shop will close for winter break on Tuesday, Dec. 19, at 1 p.m. It will open again on Saturday, Jan. 13, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will only be open on Saturdays for the month of January.
After a thoughtful presentation by a Babson Center student research team led by William Hull, the Board has voted to close the children’s section at the Shop. To that end all children’s clothing and toys are half price from now until the first of February. We will no longer take donations of children’s toys and clothing but will accept children’s books. Donors can take children’s clothing to Good Samaritan or Life Choices in Winchester.
If the Board can recruit enough new volunteers in January, it has also voted to expand working hours by adding Fridays in February from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. in order to better match student non-class hours. We will provide an update in January. The Board hopes that these hours will be an added convenience for all customers.
The Board wishes everyone in the community a safe, healthy and joyful holiday season.
