Girls Inc. of Central Alabama is coordinating a neighborhood yard sale scheduled for July 10. So far they have ten neighbors signed up to participate, but would like to recruit several more to make coming to our neighborhood very appealing to shoppers.

To keep it simple, they are offering a $10 “Yard Sale Package” for anyone interested. The following will be included:

• Your address listed in ads in the Birmingham News, The Birmingham Times, Craig’s List, FaceBook Event Site and ActiveCulture.info
• Signage specific to your address at cross streets near your home (They will provide AND hang the signs for you!)
• Printouts of all the participating addresses to hand out to shoppers

Of course anyone is welcome to host a sale and handle their own promotions, but Girls Inc. is offering the package in order to share advertising costs. Please send email Erin Melaney at EMelaney@girlsinccentral-al.org if you would like to purchase the yard sale package. You can send a check to her attention attention at Girls Inc., PO Box 130729, Birmingham, AL 35213 or she can send you a PayPal invoice.
The Facebook event site has been created for the sale. Please visit the site to
RSVP and invite others to attend.

For those of you who do not want to host a sale, but would like to clear out unwanted items, please keep in mind that Girls Inc. welcomes (tax deductible) donations to its sale and will provide receipts.
