West 104 Street Block Association Block Bytes Yard Sale Wrap Up This year’s Yard Sale was a joy to work on because the end result was great- a block full of people having fun. Another great day. Many thanks to the volunteers and the weather!
The pesky film production crews’ use of the block meant we segued the no parking from the filming into the yard sale- there were no cars to contend with (this is a first!).
Income and volunteerism was up by a third.
The raffle set a new record. $4,985.00 (up from $4,051)! Winner ($2492.50) was Jane Emery of Riverside Drive, Second Place ($100) was Jane Altman of Central Park West and Third Place ($50) was Nancy Vitalie of West 106 Street. More photos will follow on the website and newsletter.
