  • Neighborhood-wide Garage Sale

    Administrator

    This is a reminder that the NSCNA neighborhood-wide Garage Sale will be held Saturday May 17th from 7AM to 2PM. Mark your calendars!

    The Social committee will be putting up signs around the neighborhood and handing out flyers that contain a map showing each garage sale location.

    If you want your address shown on the map flyer, please contact Aleda Johnson at 453-0672 or email her at aledathweatt@yahoo.com no later than May 10th.

    If the weather is bad on this day, our alternate date is the following Saturday, May 24th.

    For neighbors who are not having their own garage sale this year, this event is a great opportunity to get out in the neighborhood, meet your neighbors and find some cheap treasures.

    The volunteer members of the Austin Police Chief’s Forum, a group that represents neighborhoods in all of the APD Patrol Sectors city-wide, request your participation.
