MAK’s 2nd Annual Neighborhood Yard Sale was a success! Overall, many families participated in the sale and some families participated by selling food—rib plates, hamburgers, chips and beverages. Despite the rain, we had a good turnout. Again, it was a great event and generated revenue for the MAK treasury. Some neighbors even donated proceeds to MAK.
