Pacifica Tribune, Letters to the Editor, 9/11/12, "Fall Sweep" by Ginny Jaquith, Pacificans Care Board Member.

"Pacificans Care is providing the perfect venue for all of us to "Clean Out, Help Out and Have Fun!" with its Fall Sweep City wide Garage Sale on Saturday, Oct. 13.

First of all, you can "Clean Out" your garage or that closet that has been nagging you for a long time and sponsor a garage sale as part of Fall Sweep. Details, including registration forms, are available at www.pacificans-care.org, by calling 359-0836, or by picking up an application at the Community Center, PB&R Department, the libraries and Recology of the Coast.  Sept. 22 is the deadline, so don't hesitate. 

Fall Sweep will be advertising your garage sale, providing maps to increase your customers and Recology of the Coast will provide free pickup of your unsold items. 

For example, I'm donating this cap

Secondly, by hosting a garage sale and donating half of your proceeds to Pacificans Care you will "Help Out" the entire community. Pacificans Care provides annual supplemental support to Child Care and Senior Services, the Resource Center and the Pacifica Youth Services Bureau. Your efforts will help Pacificans Care provide meals to homebound seniors in the community, youth counseling programs in our schools and emergency support for someone who recently lost their job or home.

It's a win-win for you and the community. And best of all, you can "Have Fun!" Gather your friends and neighbors to join in with you for Fall Sweep. Encourage them to use the Fall Sweep map to visit all the garage sales around the community. Maps will be available beginning July 30th at the same locations mentioned above and the Pacificans Care website.

If you need more information about Fall Sweep call 359-0836 or email kathygustavson@gmail.com. Thanks to Recology of the Coast, Caroline Totah Organizing Solutions and The GraphicWorks for sponsoring the Fall Sweep. I hope you will join me in supporting Pacificans Care and the Fall Sweep City-wide Garage Sale on Oct. 13."
