MOORPARK : College Swap Meets to Benefit Students
- Share via
A parking lot at Moorpark College will fill with vendors hawking potted plants, antiques and farm produce when the college holds its first swap meet on Oct. 3.
The event will be operated by Mary Fasulo, a property manager in Simi Valley, and an undisclosed portion of the profits will go toward scholarships for financially needy students, college officials said.
The swap meet will be held every Sunday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., Fasulo said. Initially admission will be free but later the entrance fee will be 25 cents per person, she said. Vendors will be charged $16 to set up a booth, she said.
“People can get some good bargains, and at the same time help education,” said Jim Walker, Moorpark College president.
Ventura College has been holding its swap meet since 1987, said Pat Terry, secretary for the Ventura College Foundation. The foundation, the fund-raising arm of Ventura College, runs the school’s swap meet on Saturdays and Sundays.
This year the Ventura College swap meet has been raising about $20,000 per month, Terry said.
