Dear Neighbors, Is there anything more fun than a Bargain? Perhaps "Bargains" purchased in cooperation and competition with neighbors. On Saturday 10/11/2008, from 11-4 PM, St. Francis de Sales is holding its TWENTY FIFTH Annual "Porch" sale. The Sale is inside the School Hall, a magnificent pre-Deco space. Enter from the tall front steps at 915 S. 47th or from the Parking Lot, which has an entrance on Farragut Terrace. Vashti will once again produce a tasty lunch, of Chicken Wings and Hot Dogs, to be sold at temptingly low prices. Donations of Baked Goods are sought, to plump up the offerings at the "Treats" table. 26 Vendors (some neighbors) have already signed up to sell their goods. Tables are still available if anyone wants to use this holiday weekend to declutter their own homes. Call Ruth McGettigan at 215-735-1393 to rent a table, (cost is $25.00) or to arrange the donation of items that she can sell at the "Parish" table. Set-up takes place between 9 and 11 AM, so Vendors might have time to scout for the best buys, before the doors open to Buyers. Last year I scored some fun games, great books, and a wonderful book shelf. I just missed out on a small "Wine" Fridge, from Sharper Image. It was new, in the box, and sold for $25.00. It probably retails for close to 10 times that much. The gathering of neighbors, in pursuit of a good value is fun. For those not familiar with SFDS it is comparable to the wonderful communities that intersect at the Farmer's Markets. I hope many of you find your way to a good experience and a great deal! All the best! Liz P.S. I think Calvary, at 48th and Baltimore, is holing a Porch Sale at the around same time, and I heard about a private sale that might take place on the 500 block of 47th Street, for which a lot of cool, old costume jewelry and some excellent China will be available. ____________________________________________________________ Click to get a free auto insurance quotes from top companies. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/Ioyw6i3m2nskdAGykbN6XLJKVxwK6JTN4KrFeDJvdx4fFjUvQI5o1j/
