Storewide Sale
The storewide sale has been met with such great success that we've decided to keep it going. April is our "IRS" Sale -- Inventory Reduction Sale. Save 20% off everything in stock (unless there's a better special). TLC's (Terryfic Loyal Customers) get another 10% off the sale price, so they can save 28% off their entire purchase of in-stock merchandise.
Stamp Club Meeting
The evening Stamp Club will meet on Monday, April 26th, at 6 p.m. and the daytime Stamp Club will meet on Thursday, April 29th, at 10:30 a.m. We won't do a card swap at either meeting, but have a "mini class" on how to make a star book. Each participant will receive a $10 birthday star book kit for only $5. At the next meeting, club members are to bring their completed star books for "Show and Tell."
Please call the shop at 704-895-BLUE (2583) to sign up for one or both of these sessions.
We're trying to organize another Stamp Club to meet the needs of those who can't come to the two above. We'll consider a Saturday club meeting or another day or evening. If you're interested, please call the shop at 704-895-BLUE (2583) or email terry@terryfictimes.com.
