The Rosedale Neighborhood Association (RNA) will sponsor the ninth annual “Rags to Riches” on Saturday, September 8, 1990. RNA invites everyone in Skinker DeBaliviere (Washington Heights. Rosedale and Parkview) to register and have a yard sale that Saturday.
The registration fee is $15. RNA sponsors this event as a fund-raiser for the organization which helps support the Times, and also as a neighborhood service. RNA publicizes the event with classified ads in the Post-Dispatch, the Journals and Student Life, as well as with press releases and public service announcements.
With help from the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council, RNA produces a Guidebook for shoppers which locates the sales on a map and lists some of the items available at each address. RNA also secures the necessary City permits which would cost residents $10 each if purchased individually.
In addition to the yard sales, RNA sponsors a bake sale and barbecue. Coffee and donuts are available in the morning; hot dogs, salsiccia and cold drinks are available beginning at 11:00. Home baked goodies are available while they last If you are interested in having a yard sale, watch for flyers with additional information and a registration form to arrive at your door in August.
The more sales there are on your block the more shoppers you are likely to attract, so plan a sale and encourage your neighbors to have one too.
