2008 ERC Neighborhood Garage Sale
To Benefit American Cancer Society
Saturday, April 12
8a-Noon

This is a chance to clean out your house & simplify, make some extra money, meet some neighbors and trade "stuff"!

For a mere $5 (by April1) you get:

-Signs at major intersections
-A sign & balloons for your yard
-Advertising in the newspaper
-"The List" on the website
-A list of sale tips
-And, as always, with the proceeds that are left after expenses are met, a donation will be made to the American Cancer Society.

You provide the "treasures", the price tags and word-of-mouth advertising.

The City of Plano requires a garage sale permit for each address participating. Please go to their website at: www.plano.gov/garagesales and follow the step-by-step directions to get a garage sale permit. It takes about 2 minutes…an advantage of this is that your "stuff" will be registered so others in Plano can access and find you-added publicity for all of us! It's really easy to do!

If you need help, call Marlene at 972-377-0601 or Dianna at 972-335-8051. The date & times to put on the permit application are as follows: APRIL 12TH - 8:00am TO 12pm (noon). Please make sure to print a copy of your permit because you can get fined as high as $500.00 if you do not have one on the premises the day of the garage sale! The police DO make random checks in the neighborhood on the day of the sale.

Please drop off form(s) at 8116 Lynores Way or 3713 Southport Drive with $10 cash or check made out to CASH or ERC. After April 1st, the fee will be $10 with this form and we cannot guarantee being "on the List". (Late entries still get signs, the benefit of advertising, the benefit of the day's momentum, a donation to the charity, etc.)

For our new neighbors & first-timers, "The List" is a compilation of participating neighbors, items for sale & contact information, so you can shop with your neighbors ahead of everyone outside the neighborhood.

Neighborhood Preview Night: Friday, April 11th, 6:30-8:00pm - This night is for friends and family only to preview the sales and get the "good stuff"
