July Meeting Rescheduled

We are rescheduling the July North Street Neighborhood Association to Thursday, July 10th (still from 6:30pm-7:30pm at Bashford and online).

Our regularly scheduled meeting falls the night before the July 4th holiday and we were concerned about low attendance. We’ve updated the calendar to reflect this, but wanted to make sure folks knew.

Yard Sale Map is Live

Our annual Yard Sale is coming up on Saturday, June 7th from 8am-2pm!

The map is now available on our Yard Sale page or directly on GoogleMaps here.

Our rain date is Saturday, June 14th – but some sellers may still choose to sell on June7th even if it’s rainy. If the sale is postponed, we’ll post on our blog & social media to let you know.
