If you haven’t checked out the latest edition of the NSCNA newsletter, you may have missed the news that the Social Committee is planning the annual NSCNA Neighborhood Garage Sale event later this month.
How it works: You hold a garage or yard sale at your home during the date/time specified above, and NSCNA advertises the neighborhood sales (Statesman and Craigslist), puts signs around the neighborhood perimeter and creates/gives you flyers with a map and addresses of the participants. You can hand out the flyers at your sale so shoppers can find all the homes in our neighborhood holding sales that day.
To participate in the sale: Email me (Juliette Kernion) at garagesale@nscna.org or call me at 451-6929 with your name and address if you’d like to participate. I prefer email, but either method is fine. The deadline is next Monday, May 17 if you want to be included on the flyer. NSCNA charges each participating household $2 to help cover the costs of promoting the event. On the morning of the garage sale event, we’ll bring you a stack of flyers and will pick up your $2.
In addition, please let me know if you’d be able to volunteer to help with the sale. We need people to help make signs as well as put them out on Friday evening and pick them up again Saturday afternoon. I’m also looking for someone to help me find a charity that might be able to pick up unsold items after the sale.
I hope you’ll join us, either by hosting your own garage sale or by visiting participating sales. It’s a fun way to meet neighbors, have an enjoyable walk around the area … and pick up a few bargains too.
