Brookside Woods Annual Garage Sale

Apr 01, 2003

Preparations are underway for the Brookside Woods Garage Sale. Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 26, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. For those that do not want to have a sale but want to get rid of some possessions, please consider donating them to the Brookside Woods Park Committee. Look for a related article in this Woods?’ Lore.

We have again elected to not sponsor the Friday night ?“pre-sale?” event for the neighborhood. Too many outsiders create dangerous conditions with no traffic controls in place. Please help keep the neighborhood safe by waiting until Saturday.

A CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS flier is attached to this newsletter. Please donate an hour or two of your time. We provide a safe environment by using cones & barrels, directional signage, and maps of the one-way street patterns. Traffic directors are critical to keeping things flowing and assisting our customers.

Due to the congestion on Saturday, we urge all residents to avoid scheduling deliveries, lawn service, and other events hampered by the limited access. This is a small price to pay to avoid garage sales throughout the year, which would bring outsiders in to our neighborhood on a regular basis.

All costs for this event are covered through sponsorship and nominal fees paid by all participants ($5 BWCA members, $10 non-members), which are collected on the day of the event. Volunteers keep our costs at a minimum, and will be scheduled for specific time slots. A safety meeting/social hour will be held that Friday evening (April 25th) at John and Vicky Hart?’s house, with refreshments provided. It?’s a great way to meet some new neighbors. If you are interested in volunteering for a couple hours, please give John Hart a call.

We look forward to sunny weather, a safe day and strong sales. As always, we welcome all comments and questions, so feel free to contact one of us.
