KonMari Folding Demonstration Party at the Effingham Public Library 

Getting organized may not be easy but the rewards are worth it.  How else to explain the fact that every year, one of the most popular New Year's resolutions is to get organized?  If you're looking for a place to start your journey into an organized and clutter-free home, start at the Effingham Public Library. 

A demonstration of the KonMari vertical folding method will be in the Library’s Workman Room on Thursday, January 5 at 6:00 PM.  Attendees are encouraged to bring a t-shirt and a pair of pants to fold for the presentation. 

The KonMari Method is a simple but effective tidying method, ensuring you will never again relapse into clutter.  The method was created by Marie Kondo, author of the bestseller, The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing.  Through tidying, you can reset your life and spend the rest of your time surrounded by the people and things that you love the most. 

The folding party is also the kick off of 48 hours of access to the website of KonMari Gold Consultant, Shannon Huneycutt.  Ms. Huneycutt is the founder of Spark Joy Charlotte and a professional KonMari organizer.  On the website is a 60 minute recorded presentation in which participants will learn the philosophy behind the KonMari Method, a folding demonstration video, a Spark Joy Charlotte tidying checklist that breaks apart the KonMari categories, and one attendee will win the Jumpstart Your Journey virtual guide to help them get started on their journey.
