Hello Neighbors! We will be having our annual Pimmit Community Yard Sale on Saturday, June 19th, from 8:00 am to Noon.
Please let me know if you plan to participate. I will be publicizing on Craig’s List, so it would be good to report approximately how many families will be participating. We will also put out some signs around the community. Feel free to put your own signs around, too, directing to your area, as well as listing your address on Craig’s List! The more we all publicize, the more traffic we will have!
Some suggestions:
- Get several neighbors together – putting all the stuff in one yard – the more there is to look at, the faster people will stop to shop!
- If you are on a less traveled street, find a neighbor on a more traveled street and buddy up with them!
- I have space in my front yard on Pimmit Drive if anyone wants to join me. There is also a neighbor on Griffith that would welcome others to join her. Let me know!
- Have your stuff out by 7:30 am. There are a lot of shoppers out very early, so take advantage of that!
- Have a game plan for where the leftovers will go! Don’t take it back in the house! I have had good luck just putting leftovers out to the curb, sometimes someone in our community can put that item to good use.
Below is a list of items that I am collecting for different causes. Let me know if you have any of these items leftover that you would like to donate. Thanks!
- Old Cell Phones – Helping to end Domestic Violence and Family Homelessness in Northern Virginia
- Coats for Children (for Salvation Army – let’s get a head start on next winter!) Coats of all sizes needed!
- Eye glasses & Hearing Aids (for Lyons Club)
- Beanie Babies donations – for a Fall Trip Linda will be taking to China, visiting children in orphanages.
One last thing, could you do me a favor? If you hear about anyone who is interested in buying or selling a home, can you keep me in mind? I would be happy to help them for you!
