Yard Sale for Obama

A message from our Obama Kensington-Ditmas group!

It's a big week for Brooklyn and Barack Obama! First up is a local Kensington event -- the Kensington-Ditmas group will be having a yard sale this Sunday, August 19th, from 10 am to 4 pm, at 379 East 8th Street (between Avenue C and Cortelyou Road). If you have items that you'd like to contribute to the sale, they can be picked up from you in advance, you can arrange a time to drop them off, or you can bring them on yard sale day. For further information, to sign up to volunteer, or to arrange pick-up/drop-off of items, please contact Allison Make at angelicarm1128@gmail.com.

Next up.. the man himself! Barack Obama is coming to the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge (333 Adams Street), next Wednesday, August 22nd, 5:30-7:00 pm (doors open at 5:00 pm). General admission is $25, or $15 with a student ID. Tickets MUST be purchased prior to the event, and they WILL sell out, so be sure to get yours ASAP. Tickets can be purchased online at https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/brooklyn4barack, or you can purchase paper tickets from Allison (angelicarm1128@gmail.com) or at the Kensington-Ditmas yard sale (see above) this Sunday.
