Fourth Annual Global Gift Shop Opens This Week At Lee
Cleveland, TN – Lee University has opened its fourth annual Global Gift Shop, a collaborative effort with many fair trade craft suppliers united under the slogan, “Gifts that Give Twice.” The shop will be open Monday-Friday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., and 12-3 p.m. on Saturday, beginning Thursday.
GGS offers handmade arts and crafts – from musical instruments, home décor and other fair trade merchandise – from Ten Thousand Villages, People for Care and Learning, Fair Ladies in Paraguay, and other non-profit organizations.
“This year we are hoping to reach out to the larger community,” said Dr. Murl Dirksen, Lee professor and coordinator for the GGS location. “Fair trade should be all our concern and we welcome interested folks to assist us in advertising, merchandizing and, of course, buying these unique artisan creations.”
