The 1983 Rags to Riches Sale, sponsored by the Rosedale Neighbors Association, promises to be the best ever.

A major fund-raiser, the event will help provide neighborhood resource workers with a much-needed phone line at the Council office.

All participating neighbors are asked to donate $5 of their profits to the Association to cover this and other year-round projects. Hundreds of neighbors and visitors will offer rummage on their front lawns, backyards, basements and garages between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., Saturday, June 11. Hotdogs, burritos, soda and beer for hungry shoppers will be available on the parking lot of the Kingsbury Animal Hospital, Kingsbury at Skinker.

For dessert, the annual Men’s Liberation Bake Sale will offer cakes, pies and cookies, with proceeds going to help finance neighborhood projects, such as The Paper. Other groups wishing to provide food for sale may contact Karleen Hoerr, 862-5071, or the SDCC office, 862-5122.

As a guide to the neighborhood and the Sale, The Paper provides the accompanying map.
