On a recent trip to San Diego I saw this sign nestled in amongst brand new condos. I was told this was the site of the former Aztec Bowl which was closed in 2000 after a developer offered a huge sum to sell. Although it is very unfortunate the 1959 bowling alley is gone it was great to see the developers use the sign as part of the design.

While it's still yard sale season and nice out, we're finally going to have the MCMLeague's Yard Sale!
This will be a fund-raiser for the League, so all it takes is $!0 and you can sell as much of your stuff as you want! (payable at the end of the sale if you wish) plus: your $10 is tax deductible! (you can get a receipt)

Anyone who wishes to sell stuff is welcome to! We would like to have lots of stuff and lots of fun! So pass this along to anyone you know who's closets are bulging at the hinges.

Any NON members who would like to sell, and join the League the day of the sale, can have their $10 WAIVED! Our treasurer will be there to take your membership dues, and we'll be having our monthly meeting after the sale.

What you will need to know about selling:
1. Bring your own table, or blanket/sheet to spread your stuff out on.
2. Price all of your stuff and INCLUDE your name on the tag (paper tags taped down work well) - it'll make things easier by having 1 cashier
3. Bring a red pen - if someone wants a deal on your stuff and you accept, cross out the original price and put the new price in red. Each person will be responsible for their own items!
4. Bring some change if you can, smaller bills are best. Will help out during and after the sale so everyone gets all their money and we don't end up with only $20's or having to run and get change, we can just see if someone selling can break some bills.
5. Tell everyone you know to come buy stuff!
6. Have fun!

Note: you can either bring your stuff over on the friday evening before the sale, or plan on being here with your stuff at 9am on Saturday to set up.

My Snoopy Snowcone Machine is broken, so if someone doesn't want to sell their wares, but wants to open their own lemonaide or hotdog stand, feel free! Maybe your kids would want to do this to raise some money before summer is up.

If anyone would like to help make some simple signs to put around the Gateway/Parkrose area, that would be great!

Sale ends at 5pm on Sunday, and we'll have the regular MCMLeague meeting here at 6pm instead of at the Alibi. We have a basement bar, and will have cold beer on tap! There will be the usual chips-n-dips, but we can make this a sort of potluck thing so we can have snacks to share - feel free to bring some sort of finger foods.

Feel free to message me or post any questions about it here on this board. http://mcmleague.org/forum/index.php?topic=413.0
Thanks!
