We had a good turnout and I enjoyed meeting all of the great moms that attended.<br /><br />I hope everyone got something that they can use for their kids. My daughter 'M' loves her new pink shoes and her baby carrier from the swap (thank you whomever brought them)!<br /><br />All 9 grocery bags of clothes which were left-over from the swap were donated to the Open Closet at the Holy Name Church, in Auburn.<br /><br />I am looking forward to the next swap. Please keep an hour of the second Saturday in June open. In the mean time I will try to figure out ways to make the swap more efficient and easy to navigate.Auburn NY Kids Clothing Swaphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01752468808137447012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3645204425963569542.post-77442218737082568852009-02-24T09:19:00.000-08:002009-02-24T09:26:09.022-08:00A Bit WorriedThe swap is scheduled for Saturday, I haven't heard that anyone is considering attending.

In our house we have a couple of bags labeled with sizes, and as we find clothing which no longer fits or is no longer wanted, we simply put it in the correct bag. <br /><br />CPSC has issued a clarification of the requirements of new <a href="http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09086.html">children's product safety laws</a> taking effect in February.<br /><br />Auburn, NY Kids Clothins Swap has a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1160878337&ref=name#/group.php?gid=50452680964">Facebook Group</a> established.
