<div>Our annual sale will be held Saturday, October 16, one of the few days with a KU away football game.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We did a central yard sale once and ended up giving a lot to Goodwill. Logistics were a problem. Since then we coordinate and advertise locations with a map on on website. We ask for a percentage of sales donated to the association and many exceed the request.</div>

Thoughts about this approach include the need to obtain a sufficiently large location with parking, having storage space to collect items before the sale, people would be needed to price items then place them out to sale and then deal with left over unsold items. We thought possibly donate left over items to the Salvation Army or other organization.</span></div>
