Saturday October 18 is the date of this year’s Downtown Phoenix G.A.I.N. Breakfast and Willo Yard Sales. G.A.I.N. stands for Getting Arizona Involved in Neighborhoods, and acknowledges the important work of our police officers and Block Watch. It also emphasizes the need for law enforcement and neighborhoods to work together to create safer communities.
Spread the word and come early to Walden Park, at the juncture of 3rd Ave., Holly, and Monte Vista to enjoy the free breakfast, visit with neighbors, local leaders, and take in the yard sales! Over 300 people attended last year’s breakfast, and more are expected this year.
- 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. — Breakfast burritos prepared by Central City Police Squad 51, plus coffee, juice, pumpkin muffins, yogurt, and water.
- 7 to 7:30 a.m. — Attorney General Terry Goddard and Mayor Phil Gordon will each speak for a few minutes.
- 7:30 to Noon — Neighborhood-wide yard sales open for business.
- 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. — Sojourner Center van will be at the park to accept leftover items from the yard sales, and distribute donation receipts.
E-mail G.A.I.N. co-chairs Mary Peralta or Mary Anne Majestic with any questions you may have.
