Whittier Center Trade-up Update!

The Whittier Community Center is still Trading Up! We started with an antique marble and are trading up as a fundraiser that will support the center and its playground. We currently have a 1940s antique radio that is very cool that we are offering to trade. For details and to see what they currently have to offer as a trade, see their website at www.whittiercenter.org or call (435) 753-9008. Then make a trade offer. You can get something fantastic, help a great cause, receive a tax write-off, and be a part of something fun! What do you have to trade?
This event is happening every day until Friday, September 18, 2015 at 12:00 AM

Trade-up History!!
We started with an antique handmade glazed marble that is from the days of the Whittier School.  We will continue to trade up, selling the final item to raise funds for programs and the playground here at the Whittier.  Please help us get the word out by 'liking' our Facebook posts about the event and by telling your friends and neighbors.  The current trade item will be posted on this page of our website as the trading progresses.  Check back frequently to see what we are trading.  Then look around your own home and see if you have anything you would like to trade for that item.  Traders will receive tax write-offs as the items increase in value and the satisfaction of helping out a worthwhile cause...as well as the opportunity to be involved in something really fun.  Photos of each trade will be posted on this site.  Please be generous in offering items of value to trade.  If you have something you would like to offer in trade for whatever our current trade may be, please email director@whittiercenter.org with a photo and/or good description of the item.  Our executive board of directors will be selecting from offers that come in.  What do you have to trade?

Trade #1

We traded the antique handmade marble for this Pantini 3/4 size student violin.  It comes with a soft shell case (with some wear on the neck edge) and a bow.  Perfect for 10-14 year old violin students.  If you would like it, make us a trade offer!

Trade #2

We traded the violin for a Firestone Air Chief antique radio.  It doesn't have a date stamp, but similar ones online are dated from the mid-1940s. It is not currently operational, but it looks really cool and would make a great addition if you like the vintage look. As you can see from the photo, some of the wood veneer has peeled off. It is in the director's office at the Whittier, so feel free to drop in and inspect it. Then make us a great offer for a trade and the radio can be yours!
