Kudos to BSL Yard Sale cochairs Ava Ritter and Mary Ann Longo for a another highly successful BSL Yard Sale. Although it no doubt may seem like an easy task to coordinate a yard sale in which the residents who participated are key to making the sale a success – and for that the Yard Sale Committee thanks all of those who signed up! – The prep work for assuring that buyers show up is extensive. It involves advertising on several online sites, making an inordinate number of signs, working with the POA office to create a QR code and map, determining where to strategically place the signs, and finding and organizing volunteers to do the placement. And I suspect that more than that was done.
Perhaps BSL resident Georgia Burbidge said it best: “Ava and Mary Ann, thanks for all your coordination of yesterday’s yard sales. Paula tells me you ladies were the backbone of the operation.”
And a special thanks to whoever drove around and put the directional signs at the end of each road. What a tremendous difference in traffic from former years, even back here in this corner of Burnt Store Lakes. You are all to be commended.
It was a successful day. I got rid of some stuff I just didn’t need any more and even found another neighbor to play bunco with us!
You are awesome. I appreciate your efforts.”
