Out With The Old, In With The New: Networking Group Host Swap Meet

Pollen and yard sales signs.

It must be Spring! And that means it's time to clean.

The Working Women of Tampa Bay want to help. This weekend the organization will host their first swap meet at the Original Carrollwood Recreation Center.

Founder Jessica Rivelli said the event was a great way to bring people together and help people organize their homes.

"An event like a swap meet is a great place for them to meet new friends and find new fun fashions and accessories," Rivelli said. "Organizing this event is our way of giving back to the community that has supported is in our first two years."

Working Women of Tampa Bay is a networking organization that connects women throughout the area through social and professional events. The group recently celebrated its 500th member.

"WWOTB is passionate about bringing the Working Women of Tampa Bay together to connect and support each other," Rivelli said.

Organizers expect this weekend's swap meet to include 50 vendors selling or swapping their old for new. Guests can bring a bag of clothing or accessories to swap with the vendors. Used items that do not sell or exchanged will be donated to the Salvation Army.
