The Clothesline Consignment - Fundraiser

MIR Parents now has a consignment account at The Clothesline Consignment located at 1441 W. Northern Lights Blvd., Suite C, in Anchorage (across the street from The Alaska Club).  Anyone can drop off quality womens clothing, shoes, and accessories for consignment sale.  If you'd like, you can inform the salesperson that you'd like the proceeds to be donated to MIR Parents.  The store will mail the proceed check directly to MIR Parents after the item(s) sell.  Here's how it works:  The store sets the price.  They keep 1/2 and MIR would get 1/2 (same as with any account there) of the final sale.  The items are displayed for 90 days.  If they don't sell, the items will be donated.  They do not consign bridal wear, furs, undergarments, or housewares.  They accept sizes 0-3X.  Spread the word!
