Well, the 2014 Seaview Manor Bazaar is over! We worked incredibly hard over the course of about 10 days, all volunteer hours.
Carolyn Anderson came from Washington for the 7th year to help the vendors set up and manage the finances. There were hundreds of transactions during the two days, and making sure the vendors receive the correct amount of money takes a lot of checking and double checking. But Carolyn made sure we balanced.
Lenore Hemphill came from Las Vegas for 10 days to help! She managed the check out station, worked with Carolyn on the finances, and helped in multiple other ways to set up and clean up. I can't sing her praises enough!
Coral Natta came from Portland to manage the kitchen. She made sure food and drinks were out for our Thursday evening party and pre-sale, weekend soups and sandwich fixings were available, and the kitchen was kept neat and clean. Another volunteer position I couldn't do without.
Alan Seidenfeld helped in more ways than I can count. He started each day with a "honey-do list" that included everything from "change light bulbs" to "put out highway signs and banner."
Then we had the volunteers from The Harbor. This year there were six who did an incredible job as cashiers or sales slip managers: Chris, Ella, Josh, Kris, Laurie, and Linda. Thanks to them for all their hard work!
We put our vendors to work too. They wrapped, greeted, provided security, sold, answered questions, and brought food.
We will be able to make a donation of about $1100 to The Harbor. So, was it worth it? That's the big question. Let me know what you think.
