**Subject:** Invitation to join the community garage sale

Dear Mrs. Peterson,

I hope you are having a lovely week. I am writing on behalf of the Maple Street Neighbourhood Association to invite you to participate in our annual community garage sale, which will take place next month.

This event has become a beloved tradition on our street. Residents set up tables in their driveways or front yards, and neighbours from surrounding areas come to browse. Last year, over 200 visitors came, and many sellers cleared out basements and attics while making some extra cash. We would be delighted if you would join us this year.

The garage sale will be held on Saturday, May 17th, from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM (rain date Sunday, May 18th). The association will handle all advertising – including signs placed at major intersections, a Facebook event page, and a listing on the city’s community events calendar. We will also provide a map of participating homes to all visitors.

If you wish to participate, there is a small registration fee of $10 to cover advertising costs. You can register by emailing me directly or by dropping cash or cheque at 42 Maple Street (my house) by May 10th. Upon registration, you will receive a yard sign to display on the day of the sale.

Please let me know if you have any questions. You are also welcome to simply put out a table without registering, but your home will not appear on the official map, which significantly reduces foot traffic. We truly hope you will join us – it is a wonderful way to meet neighbours and clear out clutter.

Best regards,
Susan Miller
