BOX TOPS AND TYSON CHICKEN LABELS
BOX TOPS AND TYSON CHICKEN LABELS:
A lot of Box Tops will be expiring on June 1, so please drop off what you have by MAY 18, so we can process them and mail off by then.
Also, don’t forget the Project A+ labels on the Tyson chicken bags. I haven’t seen to many of these come through, but they are worth .24 cents each! These can only be processed in groups of 100, so we get a $24.00 check for each submission.
We had a pretty decent year, and will be looking to fund another field trip in the fall. Thank you all for participating.

Book Blast Coming June 13th
The Book Blast is a non-profit, volunteer used curriculum sale held at Community Bible Church in Beaufort, SC. You do not need to be a member of Community Bible Church or of CBCCA in order to be a Book Blast participant. It is free to participate, but you must register. If you wish to sell, there is a $5 fee.
The Book Blast will run on Friday, June 13, from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm.
How do I become a seller?
After you register for the conference you can click here to register as a seller. You are not required to register to start entering your items online, but you will not be an official seller until you have registered for the Book Blast.
The last day for people to enter items into the Book Blast system is Tuesday, June 10th at midnight.
What can I sell at the Book Blast?
Our focus is on curriculum. In addition, readers of all kinds, manipulatives, science stuff and educational supplemental materials. Bibles, devotionals and educational aids are also welcome.
Please keep in mind this is not a yard sale, but a place to sell the kind of things YOU will be looking for to use in your own homeschool next year.
Our mission is to encourage all homeschoolers, but keep in mind we are a Christian homeschooling group. We will not be able to sell items that conflict with our Christian values. Please use discretion.
What are the selling instructions?
After you are registered as a seller, books and materials must be properly labeled. We have two methods for labeling items:
Bar Coding Labeling
This system enables sellers to easily track sales. It also streamlines the sale for buyers and sellers. Added bonus? You will get your money back much more quickly!
CHEC Book Blast Instructions 2014
Manual Labeling
You may also manually label your books. There is an additional 10% processing fee for using the manual system.
Click here for Manual Labeling Instructions
When do I drop off my books?
Thursday, June 12 from 1:00 – 7:00 pm, at the start of the Intro to Homeschooling Seminar.
Where do I drop off my books?
You must use the SIDE ENTRANCE of the CBC Children’s Building. (The doors under the awning.) We will have signs directing you.
Do not enter through the front entrance, back of the building or the Atrium.
What do I need to bring with me to the book drop off?
- Properly labeled books.
- If you are bar-coding – your inventory list.
- You should be already registered for the book blast 2014. If you are not registered, you will need to fill out a registration form.
- $5.00 seller fee.
- Self-Addressed, stamped envelope so that we can mail you your check.
What happens to my books after the sale?
Please plan to pick up your unsold books after the sale between 4:00 – 6:00 pm.
We have no place to store unsold books. Make arrangements with a friend or come yourself to get your unsold books. It will be your responsibility to check and see if you have books left over.
Items not picked up by Friday, June 13th at 6:00 pm will be donated.
What if I have stuff I want to give away?
We will have an area for free items in a separate room. You may leave free items in the designated spot at the registration desk. Please separate your free items from items your selling and clearly label them FREE.
What if I have more questions?
Call May at 575-2309 or email may@tonyandmay.com
