Sat., Sept. 22nd, 8 am – 12 noon, Pinckney and Old West Lawrence Join Forces for Garage Sale Event

Last year, at least 27 households participated.

A benefit of the neighborhood-wide sale is that the addresses of all sale locations are publicized. We ask that each Pinckney participant in the sale donate a small portion (15%) of their proceeds to PNA. Last year, we raised almost $90!

If you decide to participate, we ask for your sale to be “open” at least from 8 am to 12 noon. The coordinator for this event, Amber, will need your address (and would like your name, just for her to know you). Please email her at amber@pawshwash.net or contact her via cell: 785-218-2280.

• Changing our Neighborhood Name

  Our neighborhood name of “Pinckney” was recently changed to “Pinkney.” This change occurred because Pinckney with a ‘c’ was associated with Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a Revolutionary War general who signed the Constitution and who also was a slaveholder who believed slavery was fundamental to the American way of life (he owned a large plantation in South Carolina). Given this problematic history, neighborhood residents voted to change our neighborhood name. To learn more about the year-long process, go to our dedicated webpage. The final round of voting ultimately landed on the name of “Pinkney” in honor of William Pinkney, who gave a famous anti-slavery speech in 1789.
