My fellow team members all reported that this weekend’s garage sale event in Greenbrook and Shadow Hills was a huge success. The rain held off so the band was able to set up and play outside while the garage sale sellers could set up their tables outside.
Jane, my “garage sale fever,” friend, had a blast selling her items at the Meeses’ house on Alicante Place.
I’m writing this at Peet’s in Crow Canyon Commons where Heather Marchman, a local therapist, came up and introduced herself. She spotted me with my billboard computer.
Heather was one of the garage sale participants in Shadow Hills. She reported $500 worth of sales and was appreciative of the neighborhood participation. Heather is fairly new in the area and is openning her private practice office. She, also, loved the networking aspect of the garage sale – meeting all the people from around the neighborhood and the local communities.
Heather also has an interest in building a web presence for her practice and we talked quite a bit about how to do that. We have agreed to meet to explore her professional situation more.
I love it when people stop to chat over an espresso!

This event was brilliant marketing idea that far surpassed it’s original goal. It helped so many people in so many ways, from promoting real estate, to motivating some of us to clean out our garages and make a few bucks, to providing canned and dry goods for the Contra Costa Food Bank, to providing a forum for neighbors to connect…the list goes on.
Bottom line, I am pleased to have been part of something that had such a positive community vibe. Thank you Harper-Mees team!
