Friends of Carroll Park News Bulletin
April 2012

Greetings! Please pass along this bulletin to friends and neighbors who might be interested in Friends of Carroll Park events and/or volunteer opportunities!   

JOIN US FOR OUR VOLUNTEER RECEPTION:

SAT., 4/14, 6pm - 8pm!

 

Last spring we gathered prospective volunteers, current volunteers, and our esteemed alumni for food, fun, and lots of discussion about Carroll Park events past, present, and future. So much fun that we're doing it again this Saturday

 

Whether you're just thinking about getting involved, you already help out, or you're one of the thousands of kind souls who've helped keep Carroll Park great over the years, come on by and let us say thanks!

FLEA MARKET RESERVATIONS OPEN NOW!

 

As it does every June, the Valentino ball field will turn into an open air market for a day on Saturday, June 2 (with a rain date the following day). As always, we offer some of the best rates you're likely to find:
$35 for an interior space,
$50 for a fence adjacent space!

 

To reserve a 10' x 10' space (cash or check only), email your name, phone number, and a brief description of what you'll be selling (i.e.; jewelry, records, household miscellany). Sorry, but we cannot allow food or drink sales. 

 

Rental includes the space only, no amenities:

vendors must bring their own tables and/or chairs.
