FAQs – Stock Exchange

  • What is Les Passees Stock Exchange?

The Les Passees major fundraiser, Stock Exchange, is held every fall for six weeks as an up-scale consignment store for home furnishings. The Stock Exchange features furniture, paintings, rugs, china, jewelry and beautiful decorative items for the home. Member volunteers accept items for consignment from over 1,000 different consignors, and they set up and run the store. Generous commercial property partnerships afford the club retail space, but that space may change every year. Stay in touch to see where Stock Exchange will be this fall.

  • Where will the next Stock Exchange be held?

Because Les Passees relies on commercial partnerships for store space, the announcement about this year’s store will be made as soon as possible. For 30 years, Stock Exchange has been held in the fall. Watch the Les Passees website and Facebook page to keep informed about the location and important dates.
