I have translated this piece written by Terence Harker as it sums up what we are about. I like it, I hope you do.
And here it was our last Saturday in the old configuration, next Friday 14 September we inaugurate the new extension on the ground floor of the former hotel restaurant "Le Varennois".
The entire team mobilized to prepare this new venue. The hall of the old town hall will be devoted to clothes and linen, and we will have a CD / DVD rack. The new premises located 5 meters on the same sidewalk will host the flea market and furniture / appliances.
Friday we will welcome you with a coffee and welcome cakes. Come many!
As a reminder, ALL profits from our sales go entirely to local associations to help people or organizations in need.
VAREN is the first beneficiary because we attract the world to the Saturday market which delights traders and the usual customers of the market like to come to shop for bargains with us.
We want to maintain the social fabric of the village by involving all people of good will and anxious to make themselves useful to the community, the philosophy that drives us is "win / win".
We also want to point out that contrary to some received ideas our actions affect EVERYONE and not exclusively certain categories of populations (refugees, homeless, undocumented etc).
We want to demonstrate by our actions that certain human values still prevail.
That a small village like VAREN can set an example of a walking humanity is proof that these values can survive in a difficult world.
It is said that small streams make big rivers ..
