Time is Running Out & FAQ

The deadline for turning in your registration form to participate in this Fall's Community Garage Sale is coming up! Turn in your forms by October 4. Instructions are on the form.

So far we've had a good response. A few of you have had some questions, so I thought I'd post those as well:

FAQ

1. Q: What is the $15 registration fee for? A: The money goes towards the advertising that is done for the sale - many newspapers, directional signs & online ads. Proceeds above this cost go to one of two places: The Samaritan Inn Gateway Apartment Project that our office supports OR directly into benefits for the neighborhood. For example, if we get a large enough turnout we'd love to get a bounce house for the kids to play in or some other activity that would benefit Stone Brooke Crossing.
2. Q: What & When is the pre-sale? A: The pre-sale will be held from 7-8 Friday, October 10. This allows the registered garage sale participants to shop each other's items before the rush of shoppers on Saturday. Many times we are too busy with our own garage sales to enjoy prime shopping hours on Saturday. Simply have your garage sale items priced, displayed & ready to go before 7:00 PM on Friday. Only those that mark YES on their registration forms will be advertised as Pre-Sale Participants on the maps.
3. Q: Where will the Sale be advertised? A: The Dallas Morning News, Star Community Newspapers (McKinney Courier Gazette, Allen American, Frisco Enterprise, Plano Star Courier, Little Elm Journal, Celina Record, etc..), Craigslist, McKinneyNews.net, http://www.realfamilyrealestate.com/ and more.
