Other volunteer duties include buying and restocking candy, food items, stamps, and candy balloons as well as light dusting, displaying, marking merchandise and buying greeting cards. The gift shop continues to be the biggest source of fundraising dollars for North Campus Volunteers. Gift shop profits, with funds from other fundraising events, are pooled together and donated back to the hospital. A big thanks goes to the Volunteers for their support. It s 8 a.m. in the gift shops.
Volunteers turn on the lights and music and set up sales racks and tables.
Then the Open sign is put out. Soon customers wander in. Some look at magazines and cards. Kay Rice, card and magazine buyer, fills the racks in both shops, and Ben Anderson, magazine buyer, keeps the 7th Street shop stocked. The 7th Street shop has fresh flowers, helium balloons, and a music listening station.
