  • We are unable to allow children to play with the toys at the sale. Items are the property of consignors, and if they are broken or separated, they cannot be sold.

I participated in many Just Between Friends sales, and it really is a convenient way to de-clutter your house. I sold a ton of my girl’s clothes and even two strollers. What I really loved was that you could check exactly what was sold through the JBF website.  Even as a shopper, I loved some of the great deals I scored when I shopped the JBF consignment sales.

Check out this great sale September 8-11 at Brandywine Youth Club, 41 Thornton Road - Glen Mills, PA 19342

2nd Annual Halloween Candy Buyback for our Troops

Chester County Moms , Halloween Chester County
2nd Annual Halloween Candy Buyback for our Troops


For the second year in a row, Dr. Ron Briglia at Total Confidence Dentistry is hosting Halloween Candy Buyback to provide candy for our troops overseas during the holidays.

Total Confidence Dentistry is redefining the phrase "put your money where your mouth is."  This Halloween, trick-or-treaters can bring their candy to Total Confidence Dentistry in West Chester and receive $1 per pound (up to 5 pounds) and receive cash for their candy along with a goody bag filled with coupons from local merchants.
   
Parents who bring their children also can sign up for a raffle to win gift cards, restaurant coupons and other items donated by local merchants.  Visit the website to see supporting sponsors: www.totalconfidencedentistry.com.
  
"We know kids love candy, but all those sweets are a real hazard to their teeth," says Dr. Briglia.  "We are offering kids a chance to ditch their excess candy. They can still have all the fun of trick-or-treating, and now their piggy banks will benefit as well."
  
Total Confidence Dentistry will send collected candy to Stockings for Soldiers (www.stockingsforsoldiers.org) and Operation Gratitude (www.operationgratitude.com), organizations that ship care packages to our U.S. Troops overseas to make their holidays a bit brighter.
   

Candy will be collected at Total Confidence Dentistry (Dr. Ron Briglia), Chester County Medical Bldg., 600 East Marshall Street, Suite 201, West Chester, Pa. on Thursday, Nov. 1 and Friday, Nov. 2 from 2:00 pm-7:00 pm. The candy must be unopened.  Please no bites. It will then be shipped to our troops overseas.

Dr. Briglia and Total Confidence Dentistry thank families for their support. For more information, please contact Total Confidence Dentistry at 610-692-4440 or visit their website at www.totalconfidencedentistry.com.
