Action Line #91201 -- Thrift Store Question

INCIRLIK AIR BASE, Turkey --  Complaint:

Just wanted to ask when the Thrift Store will actually be moving into their new store? I know they have said since the summer that were moving, but I haven't heard any definite plans....and it's such a drag to constantly hear...soon, soon, soon. I'm just really eager to see the new store.

Also, is it possible for the Thrift store to be open one more night during the week? Or be open longer during the day. Or even a Saturday! That would be great! Without the shed anymore, it's so hard to donate items and Monday nights are always crazy for me. I'm not able to shop or donate like I use to. And by the looks of the store, donations have gone down as well. I have even asked others and they agree. Without the shed its really hard to donate.

Response:

First, I would like to thank you for supporting our Incirlik Combined Spouses Club's Thrift Shop. We are all looking forward to our big move, which is in the final planning phases. Please continue to check the CAC channel for the most up-to-date information regarding details. We will continue to be fully operational at our current location.

Due to ATFP measures, we will no longer have a donation shed. However, you can make your donations during business hours. To better fit our customer's needs our hours will be changing effective Jan. 1, 2010. The new hours will be the following: Monday & Wednesday 5 - 7 p.m., Tuesday & Thursday from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. and the first Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

While we strive to serve our community, we can't do it without you! We are always looking for volunteers and invite you to come lend a helping hand. For more information, please contact the Thrift Shop at 676-6247.
