Hello everyone just a reminder the South Buffalo, NY Communities are having a YARD SALE on Saturday June 13th and some on 14th too. The rain date is June 14th. But if covered and still doing both days great! For BCLA Network, I would like to know if you are going to do a sale in our community and what street, that way I can let our partner communities know and spread the word!
The following Communities have joined:
Friends of McKinley Parkway
The Ithaca Street Coalition
West Woodside Block Club
BCLA Network (Belvedere-Choate-Lorraine-Alsace)
and More!
I did tell everyone to get their Children involved for their Community to sell Lemonade and Popsicles if possible, that will start the Kids summer off with extra $$.

Thanks all, looking forward to a stronger Community to unite!
Dave King Chairperson, BCLA Network!
