One man's trash is another man's treasure

I spent a couple of hours yesterday volunteering at a rummage sale on Hillcrest's parking lot. We invited our neighbors to use our parking lot for their rummage sales. Hillcresters did all of the set up and tear down, advertising, and even provided free food. The thought was that since 20,000 or so cars pass by Hillcrest each day, our parking lot provides a highly visible location for them to move their stuff. The event wasn't terribly busy, but our neighbors were able to sell most of their stuff and they hoped we would make it available to them next year. If we were able to help our neighbors in a meaninful way, that makes it an event worth doing.
