An Activity That Will Benefit Everyone

By Dale Morrow

The neighborhood in which I live is very active in community improvement. This next weekend, our Civic Association has organized a community yard sale. Many neighbors will be participating. There will be items for sale at Giddens Park at the corner of 12th street and Giddens, just south of Hillsborough Avenue. Donated items will be sold to benefit the improvement of our park. Also part of the funds will be used to fund activities for the community youth organization.

Refreshments will be sold and maps to locations in the neighborhood participating in the sale will be distributed. It will be a lot of fun and there will be plenty of bargains.

It is a very good feeling to live in a community where people are willing to come together for an activity that will benefit everyone. We expect somewhere between 30 and 50 homes will be taking advantage of this event.

There will be a lot of items to look at and buy in a small geographic area. Come up and find some bargains.

My "View From The Road" will include, this weekend, many bargain hunters and yard sale signs.
