Understand the value of what you own and make plans for your cherished belongings. Whether you are downsizing or thinking ahead, you may wonder how to enjoy what you have, repurpose what you no longer need, realize the most money for the things you’re ready to sell, and find good homes for your valuables.

Hilary Jay will talk about selling, consignments, donations, and personal distribution parties. She will share some of the happy surprises she has encountered, as well as some failures and there will be plenty of time for questions.

Hillary Jay is the founder and managing director of the Department of Better, a concierge transition service. She was the chief curator of the Paley Design Center at Philadelphia University, wrote a weekly column for the Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday Magazine, and co-founded Design Philadelphia.

This program is sponsored by East Falls Village and will take place in the Meeting Room. Please use the Midvale Avenue entrance.
