Community Garage Sale

It's that time of the year when we discover items gathered during the winter months, that we don’t need and want to discard. Why not get some cash for them.

This year we are having two community garage sales on the following dates:

· June 4 - June 5

· September 24 - September 25

The times both sales will be the same from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM for both days. Please note that these are the only approved dates for this year. Individual garage sales without prior approval by the board are prohibited. We want to limit when additional traffic is in the neighborhood.

To aid in your sales we are going to publish a list of participants. If you plan to participate, please send the following information to CTHOAinfo@gmail.com by Friday, May 21^st:

· Address

· Which days: Friday, Saturday or both

· Main items for sale

Signs will be posted, in advance. A notice for the sale will posted in the Chicago Tribune, the Beacon, Plainfield Sun and Craig's List.

In an effort to increase attendance for our garage sales, we need your help:

· Marking participants on maps and placing balloons on mailboxes

· Distributing maps at entrances

· Post in surrounding communities newsletters

If interested, please contact the board at CTHOAinfo@gmail.com.
