Issue LXV
Hello to all my Lincoln Neighbors.
Its finally time for Summer to show up. Along with all it’s
beauty, it
brings a ton of activity for the Lincoln Neighborhood
Association.
Our upcoming events for July and September are quickly
approach-
ing. In July, we have our Annual Neighborhood Garage Sale.
What
a great time to now go through the closets, the garage and find
all
those items you no longer use but know your neighbors would
love
to have. Neighbors you haven’t seen since last summer and
new
ones you’ve yet to meet. This is always a great event and
brings
tons of shoppers to our neighborhood. Start going through the
clos-
ets and garage now to be ready for Friday, July 13 and
Saturday,
July 14. See the enclosed flyer for all the information.
One of our most popular events is the Neighborhood Cleanup.
Sat-
urday, September 8 from 9:00 to 3:00. In the past, this has been
a
Spring event, but due to conflicts in schedule, this year we
will
have it in Sept. So what didn’t get sold in the Garage Sale can
be
disposed of this Saturday. Great time to get the yard ready for
the
coming Winter season too.
The totals for last year were staggering! We collected 31.75
tons of
bulk debris. Last year it was only 16.44. We also took in 31.75
tons
of yard recyclables as opposed to 7.35 tons the year previous.
Wow!
You were understanding and generous with your donations
while
unloading your vehicles which helps fund all our amazing
neighbor-
hood events like the Easter Egg Hunt, pizza nights, candidate
fo-
rums, grants to schools to help fund special projects,
Halloween,
Thanksgiving and Christmas parties. Incidentally, if you would
like
to participate in any of these events and be an active member
of
your Neighborhood, just give me a call or e-mail any of us at
the
addresses listed on the back page. We could
sure use your help. We are dedicated to mak-
ing life better and safer in our Lincoln neigh-
borhood.
Hope to see you soon,

Lincoln Neighborhood
Garage Sale Friday-Saturday, July 13-14
It’s baaaack! For the 49th time. Time to start thinking
about
the neighborhood garage sale!
Here’s a quick review of the details:
You can participate one or both days.
Official hours are from 9am-4pm each day, but you’re free to
set your own hours.
There’s no cost to participate. The Lincoln Neighborhood
Association gener-
ously covers the cost of newspaper advertising and a porta-potty
is provided
free by the City of Vancouver.
We’ll provide publicity for the neighborhood sale with
advertising on craigslist
and the Columbian. We recommend posting your own ads online as
well.
About 20 street signs will be posted to direct people toward
garage sale areas.
It’s great if you have a few of your own to point shoppers
without maps to
your house.
A map of participating houses will be posted with online ads.
Hard copies will
be available at Latte da Coffeehouse.
If you’d like to be listed on the map, contact Michelle
Fennimore at
[email protected] or 360-975-1910(cell) by Monday,
July 9th.
You don’t have to be on the map to participate, but the more
garage sales we
have on the map, the more customers we’ll bring to the
neighborhood. So sup-
port your neighbors and get on the map!

Lincoln Neighborhood Cleanup
Saturday, Sept. 8th Lincoln School 9 to 3
Mark your calendar, the cleanup this year is in September. What
you can’t recycle or is too much for your weekly pickup service can
be brought to Lincoln School Saturday the 8th of September from 9
to 3. This is also an opportune time to get the yard ready for the
end of the season. There are some things that the trucks can’t
accept, primarily electronics, appliances like micro waves, motor
oil, anti freeze, paint and prescription drugs. See pages 5 and 6
for a listing of those items that can and cannot be recycled and
where to take them.
If you’d like to pitch in and help us and the Waste Management
crew unload vehicles to the waiting trucks, you can pick from one
of three shifts, from 9 to 11, 11 to 1 or 1 to 3. We bring the
bottled water, you bring the gloves. It’s a ton of fun. See you
there.
