Davis Square Yard Sale

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Its been a couple weeks before there was an "on list" update about the sale.

1) The permit has been obtained and I have a copy of it. You can sort of read it via this



2) The Somerville Homeless Coalition maintains an extensive email mailing list and will be sending out info related to the event probably a week or two ahead of time. The Executive Director of the SHC will be there at the event to answer any questions people have and to have info/ flyers for those wishing to learn more about their work.

3) Besides donation of items to sale, we are going to need several other things such as 1) Fold up tables or other ways to display the items 2) Drop off locations to hold items if a person can't physically be at the event 3) People to make flyers/ signs for the event and to post them in the neighborhood a few days before the event. 4) Possible help with transportation, ie., getting items from drop off locations to the Park and after the event getting the items that didn't sell off to Goodwill. 5) People to bring food, beverages (non-alcohol of course), and music to the event.

If you can help with any of the things mentioned in #3 above, please comment here. Also, if you would like to help additionally with the planning and coordination of the event, please join davis_sale.

I hope this ends up being a success and that it both raises money for the SHC and is a fun/ social occasion.

can you update the main post with that info in the text?

I have a folding table you can use and I have a hatchback car for transportation. I don't *think* I'm busy that day, although I'm not 100% sure. I'd also make some foodstuffs if I'm around.

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Great! We will contact you at some point about how we can pick up the table or get it that morning.

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Of course I'll be updating again in a week or two and if you are available, we can make plans for getting the table, etc.

This is a really cool idea. I want to donate items/food and can be there for at least part of the day. I've joined davis_sale. Thank you so much for coming up with this great idea.

Can I get a cut of the proceeds to restore my vision after trying to read that?

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

You have a case of the Mondays, don't you?

This is awesome. If I had more time I'd volunteer but I'm going to try to get to the sale and will get the word out. Do you have an email that I could give to friends and family who my want to help out? I don't know many people who have an LJ.

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. Anybody can email me at anomie666 (at) gmail.com

any restrictions on what kinds of things you're looking for? books? white elephants? random crap?

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

I haven't really thought about it. Anything left over is going to be sent to the goodwill in Davis, so whatever you are looking to get rid of I'd take.
