Good News in a Bad Economy

(I-Newswire) February 25, 2010 - (St Louis, MO) Just Between Friends (JBF), the nation’s leading maternity and children’s consignment sales event franchise is now accepting consignors for their upcoming spring/summer community events in Kirkwood, St Charles and Chesterfield. This announcement came as good news to those parents who are struggling to make ends meet in the current economy.

“Just Between Friends is not just about having fun and shopping,” said Sandra Shasteen, coordinator of the Kirkwood sales event March 19th and 20th. “JBF helps more than 260,000 moms and dads across the US make money on their children’s outgrown and unused items, so that they are able to purchase what they need for warmer weather. Children do not stop growing just because of a tough economy.”

The JBF community events, which are open to everyone, offer pretty much anything you might need to raise a child. From clothing and baby equipment, to backyard toys and DVDs, to books and crafting supplies, Just Between Friends provides a fun, convenient and well-organized event that is eagerly anticipated by thousands of St Louis area families. Consignors (or sellers) earn up to 70% on their sold items and volunteers, who help run every aspect of the sale, get to shop the bargains first, before the public.

For those who are not familiar with the national phenomenon known as Just Between Friends, you are invited to go to www.jbfsale.com and sign-up on each mailing list for every event you are interested in attending. JBF has been featured on television by ABC News, Good Morning America, CNN Headline News, Inside Edition, The Big Idea and several other top-notch news programs. Everyone on the mailing list will receive a free admission pass for the first public sale day of that event, which is the only day that an admission is charged. In St Charles, all admission money is donated to a local non-profit organization that supports local families.

The upcoming St Louis area JBF community events are:

Kirkwood: Friday, March 19th & Saturday, March 20th
Concordia Lutheran Church, 505 S. Kirkwood Road, Kirkwood, MO 63122

St Charles: Friday, March 26th & Saturday, March 27th
Harvester Nazarene Gym, 3115 McClay Road, St Peters, MO 63376

Chesterfield: Saturday, May 15th & Sunday, May 16th
Maryville University Gymnasium, 650 Maryville University Drive, Chesterfield, MO 63141

“Helping others recycle their family’s gently-used items is such a rewarding way to meet and network with bargain-savvy moms in our community,” said Michelle Wiginton, who coordinates the St Charles event, as well as community JBF sales in Columbia, Jefferson City and Rolla, MO. “We have so much fun helping others that it’s almost like a family reunion instead of a huge community sale.”
