Just Between Friends is a consignment sale where you can participant as either a buyer or a seller. There is no need to shop overpriced mall and department stores, and no more running from garage sale-to-garage sale. Just Between Friends puts is all under one roof! It is the best in gently used childrens and maternity clothing, as well as baby equipment, nursery and maternity items, outside playground equipment, books, kids movies, shoes and toys, toys, toys!

As a consigner, what a great way to clean out no longer needed items and earn some money. You tag your items and JBF sells them for you for a small commission.

I have signed up before as a consigner, but this year I promise I will actually do it! The past two times, I just didn't take the time to get everything done. This year, they have a new computer tagging system and it has made things MUCH easier. I already have 25 things tagged and I'm patting myself on the back for that!

There are sales all over the country so check out the website to see if there is one around you. If you decide to consign in Columbia, tell them I sent you!

You may have seen the movie version of life in the mob, but now it's time to hear the real story up close and personal. Come listen to former mafia boss Michael Franzese speak about his experiences in the Colombo crime family and why he decided to get out. This is a free event and open to the public! April 2nd at 7pm in Conservation Auditorium. Michael's journey towards making healthier life choices and his message about the possibility of change is an inspirational and exciting story-a must see event at MU for 2008-For more info visit https://webmail.um.umsystem.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://wellness.missouri.edu/Presentation and Q&A (7:00-8:30pm).
