Announcement - LEGO Camps!

Announcement! Mondays are now announcement days. That is all.

Oh, no wait. There was something else. Ah! Remember last week when I mentioned my 42lb FREE LEGO haul? I had started planning to do an after school LEGO club at my kids' school. I started talking it up everywhere I went. A lady who works at the organization where I get my LEGO Finds from is a fellow AFOL. Lo and behold she used to teach LEGO classes. I was mentioning the need to get some used brick for the kids to use. She suggested that she had a lot of old LEGO sitting in her shed that I could HAVE for my classes. Cool, thanks!

Well she brought it in the next week. It was a huge tote plus another half size tote both filled. It weighed in at 42lbs. I then proceeded to go through and see what was in there and sort for my classes. It was full of Pirates and Castle and Classic Space. Sorry, I should have taken some pics but I didn't. I set all the MegaBlock and other clones, army men and marbles aside. Weigh out minus the bins was 32lb of pure Danish ABS.

With her permission I assembled a few of the old sets to sell. The money from these sales will go towards further funding my after school LEGO classes. You can find these sets in my Bricklink and BrickOwl stores.

But this story takes another step. The after school class is a means to create and hone some curriculum that I can use to teach LEGO Camps over Spring and Summer Breaks. If you are in the Portland OR area or know someone who is, consider signing your kids (or their kids) up for my camps!
