Gear Exchange – Sat Mar 6 – 1-3pm @HBSSC

Thinking about some new gear for 2010? Gotta clean out the old before you bring in the new???

There will be a gear swap, exchange, sale at the Fieldhouse on Saturday March 6 from 1-3pm in the conference room.

Nita’s Reruns will be there and she has an excellent selection of name brand sports gear (running tops, shorts, bike shorts, swim suits, etc.) at very reasonable prices.

Checkout your gear locker and see what’s ready to be recycled.

It is open to everyone and there are no charges. There will be tables in the room you can use for display.
