All-neighborhood garage sales, September 25th, 9am to 3pm
Fall is here and it is time
to clean out the insides of your closets, basements, attics,
and garages. We all know that one person's trash is
another's treasure. This is your opportunity to purge your
house of all that "stuff" that you have accumulated but no
longer use.
Take advantage of free
advertising and the increased visibility that comes with a
large neighborhood sale. The WHCCA will advertise the
garage sale through a variety of channels such as local
newspapers and Craigslist. Neighborhood entrances will
be flagged with balloons and copies of neighborhood maps
will be provided there (though the maps will not identify
participating homes this year). This WHCCA-advertized annual
event always draws a crowd from outside our neighborhood to
find your dusty treasures and "no-longer-neededs."
If you want to donate
unsold goods, several websites describe locations or
organizations that may accept them, and may even schedule a
pickup:
(1)
http://www.pickupplease.org (schedule a pick-up
online),
(2)
http://www.salvationarmyusa.org (call 800-728-7825 to
schedule a pick-up),
(3)
http://www.nwcenter.org,
(4) http://www.babycorner.org.
If you are new to
garage sales, here are two web sites that provide some
helpful pointers:

If you have questions
about the garage sale, please contact WHCCA board member Hua
Liu by e-mail at hualiu2001@yahoo.com or phone 425-373-9224
