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!
