Subject: Yard Sale -- Columbus Day Weekend
To: 200-block-10th-st-se@..., 11thSEblock@...

You¡¯re Invited to Participate in
the
200 Block of 9th, 10th, & 11th Streets SE YARD SALE
Saturday, October 8, & Sunday, October 9
We¡¯re planning to hold a Yard Sale this fall in the two
alleys that run between and parallel to the 200 blocks of
9th and 10th Streets SE, and 10th and 11th Streets SE.?
We¡¯ll do it over Columbus Day Weekend, Saturday, October
8, and Sunday, October 9, from 9 am to 3 pm each day.?
Everyone on all sides of the two alleys is invited to
participate.? Also, neighbors not adjoining the alleys are
welcome to partner with a neighbor on the alleys to join the
sale.
In previous years, we¡¯ve found block yard sales to be a
lot of fun, plus you get rid of some clutter. This year,
we¡¯re hoping that involving two alleys will draw even more
customers.? We¡¯ll put up fliers and posters around the
neighborhood and advertise in the Post and other media.?
Everyone will bring the items they want to sell out to their
garage, parking pad, or backyard during the Yard Sale, and
between customers we¡¯ll all get to visit.? Usually, the
weather is great by then, and the fliers, posters, and ads
generate lots of customer traffic.? We¡¯ll hold the Yard
Sale both days, but you can participate as little or as much
as you¡¯d like. The more the merrier!
We have a core group planning the Yard Sale, but we need
your help to make it successful.? We need volunteers to
walk around the neighborhood to put up fliers the weekend
before the sale -- October 1 and 2 -- and then take them
down after the sale.? We will provide the fliers and tell
you where to post them.? We need help making the larger
posters to attract customers.? We also need a $10 donation
from participants to help pay for advertising and
supplies.? Many hands will make the work lighter.? If you
plan to participate and can help, please tell us by
Thursday, September 22.? You can fill out the form below or
send us an e-mail.? We need the contact information to make
it easier to communicate any last-minute instructions.
We¡¯re looking forward to hearing from you and hope to see
you at the Yard Sale!
