Families in the Alden Park neighborhood are invited to participate in our first-ever Community Garage Sale on Saturday, October 13th, in Alden Park, from 8:00a.m. to 1:00p.m.
Here's your chance to get rid of some of that stuff that's been cluttering up your home and garage, to make a little extra money, and to support your Neighborhood Watch program.
It's also the time for the City of Tracy's City-Wide Garage Sale, which is happening on the same day, and we've registered our event so it will be listed in the City's maps and publications promoting the event under the theme "Make Every Day Earth Day." For more on the City-Wide Garage Sale, go to http://www.ci.tracy.ca.us/news/front-page/2007/10/08/city-wide-garage-sale/.
Each family will be able to "set up shop" in Alden Park. Just follow these simple rules:
- Bring a Queen-Sized Sheet to the park with you, and check in at the Neighborhood Watch table. Your sheet will be used to mark your space in the Community Garage Sale. All items you wish to sell should fit on your sheet to allow your friends and neighbors space for their stuff, too.
- If you have large items to sell, open your own garage or yard for the sale. This is the time to get to know each other and to enjoy your neighbors and community. By coordinating our event with the City-Wide Garage Sale, we should get a lot of foot-traffic.
- There is a suggested $3.00 donation from each family that participates in the Community Garage Sale in Alden Park. This donation will help cover costs of our new Neighborhood Watch signs, which the City provides to us at a cost of $25 each.
So, start cleaning out that garage and those closets! See you on Saturday, October 13th!
