Seems we just had one of these, right? We DID! In September. But it was so successful, we’re doing it again. Clean out the closets, garage, shed, storage unit, and start putting your sell items together. As you are probably aware, we hold this semi-annually, to fund the scholarships we give out each year.

Space rental for members is $6.00 and for non-members $12.00. Just fill out the form below and mail it along with your check made payable to TRNA. A “space” is one parking space, so if you’ve got lots of “stuff” you’ll probably want to rent at least two spaces. This has become a popular event with good crowds and lots of buyers, so get your space reserved quickly.

TRNA will have a space and will sell your donations if you are not able to attend. Please bring them to our table early that morning. Of course we will always be grateful if you wish to simply send a cash donation to probably the most worthwhile thing we do each year!

FOOD & DRINKS AVAILABLE! As always we will have light breakfast items such as chili dogs with jalapenos (if you have not had one for breakfast you don’t know what you are missing) and a host of other TRNA favorites.

Many volunteers are needed to make this happen — people to help set up, work the food booth, man the TRNA tables. Contact Ken Newman at 974-5469 898-5447 or Juken1964@q.com if you are willing to help.

Once again we are indebted to Cross of Hope Church for allowing us to use their parking lot. For those who may not know, Cross of Hope is located on Taylor Ranch Road, between Montaño and Golf Course/La Orilla, across from the Don Newton Taylor Ranch Community Center.

Call or email Ken Newman if you have any questions.

• LUPZ Hearing on Amendments to ALB/BERNCO Comprehensive Plan's Activity Centers and Corridor Maps, May 15th: In March the EPC approved proposed ammendments to the Activity Centers and Corridor Maps and forwarded these amendments to the City Council for consideration. TRNA opposes moving the Coors/Montano Community Activity Center boundary to Learning Road. TRNA does not support moving the boundary past Mirandela Road because it could be considered a changed condition that would justify a zone change for that property. The Land Use Planning and Zoning Committee of the City Council decided to move the Amendments to the City Council without recommendation. The committee also directed staff to organize a public meeting on this topic prior to the next city Council meeting scheduled for June 3rd. No meeting has been set as of this time.
• TRNA Land Use Fund: TRNA Board has established a Land Use Fund primarily used to pay for legal services needed to challenge undesirable development in our community. TRNA still owes payment to the attorney who represented on on the Walmart issue. Please help us finish paying our bills for this fight. To contribute, make check payable to TRNA Land Use Fund and mail it to TRNA, P.O. Box 66288, Albuquerque NM 87120 or contribute online at www.againstthewal-abq.com where you can donate by credit card or paypal.

For additional information on any land use issue, contact Rene' Horvath at land@trna.org or call 898-2114
