The Alexandria Jaycees have been holding Community Yard Sales (one of our main fundraisers) off and on since 1996. In recent years, the Community Yard Sale has evolved into a small flea market. We need volunteers to be on-site and supervise the vendors' set-up and tear down. Please contact Cathy for more information or to volunteer: president@alexjaycees.org. Jaycees can reserve one space per sale at no charge. |
