Yard sale, hunt helpers lauded
Times Leader
On Oct.
6, the Nanticoke Civic Pride Committee sponsored another
citywide yard sale with a treasure hunt. More than 250
people participated in the sale and more than 350 maps
were given out. Many of the participants were from out
of town.
The yard sale is not only for our citizens to sell their
items, but a chance to meet neighbors and people from
all over. It also gives people a chance to see our beautiful
city and what we have to offer, not only now, but in the
future.
I want to thank:
• the Nanticoke Civic Pride Committee, Mayor John
Bushko, Yvonne Bozinski, Theresa Sowa and Betci Cheshinski
for their help.
• the girls in the city tax office who accepted phone
calls and made our maps and lists.
• Dave Alberola from Emjaze Marketing Inc. for donating
his bench sign on Main and Market streets.
• the Salvation Army, which sent one of its trucks
to take usable items.
• The Times Leader for its well-written stories about
the yard sale.
• Nanticoke citizens, who know that our city is growing
stronger each day.
The Civic Pride Committee not only works tirelessly on
the yard sale but on other community activities such as
our upcoming children’s Halloween parade. It will
be held for Nanticoke children from 2 to 4 p.m. Oct. 27
and our Santa Parade and party will be held in December.
