A community yard sale is more than just a chance to sell unwanted items. It’s an opportunity to bring people together, encourage sustainable consumption, and revitalize neighborhood connections. By pooling resources and marketing efforts, participants increase visibility and draw larger crowds than any single household might on its own. Planning and Coordination Form a Planning Committee Successful community yard sales begin with a small organizing team. This group will handle logistics, communications, and promotion.

May 19 has been a date marked by remarkable events that have shaped history across the world. Stepping back in time, May 19 is remembered for significant military and revolutionary events. In 1535, the explorer Jacques Cartier returned to France after his first voyage to the New World, marking a critical stage in European exploration and the eventual colonization of North America. Cartier’s expeditions opened the door to French claims in the region that would later become Canada, influencing the geopolitical landscape of the continent for centuries to come. Another key military event took place on May 19, 1864, during the American Civil War. The Battle of New Market occurred in Virginia, where cadets from the Virginia Military Institute played a notable role in the Confederate victory. This battle is remembered for the youthful courage of these cadets, some as young as 15, who fought alongside seasoned soldiers. The engagement underscored the intense and often tragic nature
