Historical June 1984 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
It’s again time to clean out your basement, attic, garage, or whatever and have a yard sale.
On Sat., June 9, the Rosedale Neighbors Association (RNA) will sponsor their 3rd Annual Rags to Riches Day.
The RNA will be publicizing this day in the media.
All anyone has to do is to take advantage of the free publicity and have your own yard sale that Saturday.
The purpose of the day is to raise money for RNA.
All those Rosedale residents who have yard sales on June 9 are asked to contribute $5 to RNA.
All yard sales will take place within the 12-block area bordered by Delmar on the north, Milbrook (Forest Park Parkway) on the south, Skinker on the west, and Des Peres on the east.
This is where all the action will be. You can call Ann FitzGibbons at the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council (862-5122) for further details.
If you will be having a yard sale and tell Ann ahead of time, your house will be shown on a map of the neighborhood which will be distributed that morning to those shoppers who ask for one. There’s More!
From 8:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. there will be food and entertainment in the parking area in front of Kingsbury Animal Hospital at 420 N. Skinker.
This area is provided courtesy of Dr. Stephen Brammeier.
In the morning, there will be donuts and coffee, and during the rest of the day there will be baked goods, burritos, sausages, hot dogs, soda, and beer.
The entertainment will be provided by The West End Chorus and others. So, shoppers and neighbors come on over and enjoy the food, entertainment, and good company.
The baked goods for sale on Saturday will be donated by neighbors in the Rosedale neighborhood and the proceeds are to be used to fund the Rosedale Neighbors Association activities, such as parties for the neighborhood children at Halloween.
In the past this bake sale has gone under the name of the “Men’s Liberation Bake Sale,” the derivation coming from the request that the men in the Rosedale neighborhood should bake something to donate for sale.
We are, however, not as particular this year, and all those wishing to contribute baked goods should call Ann FitzGibbons at the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council, 862-5122, or Gordon Gregg, 721-3512, and make arrangements for delivering the food.
We do need a good bake sale this year and ask that all the neighbors help as best they can.
The day has been a tremendous success in the past and the yard sales have been very profitable for all neighbors who participated. REMEMBER, Sat., June 9, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Find your maps at 420 N. Skinker.
