Dear Block Residents,
It was a great day.
As President of the Block Association, I wanted to give my take on the yard sale. It was a success financially and, judging by the smiles, with the residents too.
Our raffle set a new record – $4,051. The winner was Jesse Berger, resident of 320 RSD – he took home $2025.50. Second place was Teresa Elwert, also of 320 RSD. She took home $100. Third Place was Arlene Metrick, resident of 900 WEA, she took home $50.
We could not have done it without the block’s support, the help given by building staff, the volunteers, the vendors with their goods, and the local businesses with their silent auction donations. A huge thanks to everyone.
We still have some unsolds from the silent auction at greatly reduced prices –

Have you been thinking of getting a bag or a cap?
