2007 NYC Fat Girl Flea Market

Jan 02, 2007 11:12

hey folks.  as many of you know, for the past few years NYC has hosted the amazing Fat Girl Flea Market.  last year the event was 2 days long!  tons of amazing plus size treasures are found by flea goers for low, low prices and the atmosphere of the event is quite fun.  however, key organizers of the past are no longer able to take on the project in the way they used to and if we want to have the event this year, we need folks to step up and help out.  while help of any kind is needed, we especially need folks who are willing to take on key organizing roles.  without this, the event will not happen again.  please see the call for organizers below.  also, please forward and cross-post far and wide.  thanks!  xoxo, Zoe  ps: one of the benefits of being an organizer, beyond helping to create a fun-filled, fabulous, fat-positive shopping event and experience, meeting other fantastic fatties, and raising money for nolose, is that you get first dibs at the clothes!

Do you want a 2007 FAT GIRL FLEA?

If you do, then we need your help. Join in the fun, meet lots of great people, and get lots of great clothes. In order to make this year’s flea happen, we need at least 3 or 4 more people able to work on coordinating the event.

What is involved in this, you ask? Well, we as a group can decide together what’s involved. With several years of experience, we can follow along with how things were done OR we can do things differently. It will mean some meetings (which can be in person or conference calls or online chats). Beyond that, your involvement can take many forms.

What are some things you might work on?

Advertising and Outreach: Get us cards, sound out press releases and help get us publicity, help get people to poster and give out cards, and don’t forget the SECRET FAT GIRL NINJA WHEAT PASTING!!!

Volunteer Coordination: Get to know lots of great people while you help schedule people to help the day of and before the flea.

Clothing Pickup: Meet some of those great people donating clothes and help make sure the clothes get into storage and then to the flea.

And there’s lots more… What you do is up to you.

So if you want to see a flea this year, email Shira at shira623@verizon.net and lets start the fun!
