Community Yard Sale $$$

I’m glad several people have shown interest in this since a “Community” yard sale tends to draw more attention and customers. Let’s try to get something together before it gets crazy hot – which will be soon despite the fact that it was 40 degrees when I left this morning! Anyone have thoughts on a date? I was thinking the first Saturday in May (5th) might be a good time – not too hot, people paid monthly will have just received their checks, and it’s before several holidays in May which may be conflicting with people’s travel/vacations. Any thoughts?

Luis and I would still be interested in doing this. Seems like that would be a good date also. We might need to do a flyer or sign up sheet and see what interest there is in the neighborhood.

I would like to participate in the Yard Sale also. Please let me know what I can do to help!

I am interested as well. I have hesitated on responding to this as it means I will have to get up off my butt and figure out what to sell. Ugh!! Yet, it is for a good cause....! I would need a little time to get together. I think if we do this, we should avertize it before hand. Maybe some signs down by the baseball fields.....there is a lot of traffic there.

I would love to do this as well...is this still happening on Saturday? Please feel free to contact me... I live at 4076. I can pull some stuff together pretty fast!

Think we can get it together by this Saturday? What do we need, some signage and a flyer/sign-up passed around? Anyone with experience, please take the lead and I will do whatever I can - ie. create and distribute flyer. Where can we get some signs printed cheaply?

I would love to participate, but I don't think I would be able to pull it together in time for this weekend.

OK, I was rethinking a good date for the Community Yard Sale. I still think close to the first of the month is a good time, but is June 2nd too close to all the Memorial Day stuff? What does everyone think - June 2 or June 9. I'll be the official ring leader and responsible for fliers, finding the cheapest signage (do you have a good source, Colleen?). I think the easiest thing would be to divide the cost of the signage by those participating and collect the money on Yard Sale day. Any thoughts or words of experience are appreciated. Thanks, Nicole

Uh oh - not another "RINGLEADER" :-P

My vote is for the 9th, please. Let me know if there is anything I can do to assist!

Now, June 9th would work for me. I got scared looking at my basement and thinking there was no way I could get it together by this Sat. Whew! Thanks Nicole for heading up. I have a few things I can sell. Let me know what I can help with.....

I have worked up a flier to pass around the neighborhood for the Yard Sale. Does anyone want to look it over before I do? email me at: nberry@ashrae.org if you would like to see it.
Thanks, Nicole
