ditto Enjoys Banner Inaugural Year

Tuesday, 06 September 2011 22:21

September marks the first anniversary of the opening of ditto, Eastern Christian's "Upscale Resale" store, and what a first year it has been! In its first year of operation, ditto donated an amazing $75,000 to support the cause of Christian education at EC!

ditto started off with a blast, selling nearly 20,000 items in its first month alone. The momentum continued throughout the year as ditto sold 73,657 pieces of clothing, 1,479 pieces of furniture, and 62,658 household goods, sporting goods, and books for total sales of $369,671.

Throughout the year, ditto was staffed by an amazing group of well over 150 volunteers who gave generously of their time, energy and talents to support Eastern Christian School. With many volunteers working several days per week, the store's ambitious schedule of operations, and even more ambitious fund raising goal, was achieved.

Led by store manager, Eric Hawn, and Advisory Board members Donna Chrinian, Henry Kuiken, Bernie Tolsma, and David Visbeen, ditto has also fulfilled an important community service goal by donating hundreds of serviceable goods to local charities and non-profits.

Eastern Christian School thanks all of the dedicated volunteers, generous donors, and faithful customers who have made ditto the tremendous success story that it is. Above all, we thank our supremely generous Heavenly Father who has continued to provide for Christian education in Northern New Jersey through the business success enjoyed by this new venture!
