This way, people will know EXACTLY where to go and can plan out their routes in order to go to as many yard sales as possible!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 class="western" lang="en-US" style="color: #006600;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Where is Roncesvalles?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Roncesvalles area is a multi-community comprised of three neighbourhoods (i.e., Roncesvalles, Sunnyside and High Park) that are connected by Roncesvalles Avenue east of High Park in the city of Toronto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US" style="color: #006600; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;How do I get to Roncesvalles?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US" style="color: #006600; margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subways:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Exit at “Dundas West” station.

We encourage you to&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;walk, ride your bike or take the TTC&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;for best access. If you must drive, kindly park your car and walk&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;in the neighbourhood rather than cruising in your car to reduce congestion/pollution. The amount of pedestrian traffic makes driving dangerous for everyone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 class="western" lang="en-US" style="color: #006600;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Are there any designated “no parking zones”?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;All the usual parking rules are in effect.

Price all your items, either individually or in groups (e.g., books 25 cents). Display items on tables or in boxes according to type and/or price. Have a cash box or change apron with lots of coins for change. In the case of large items that can’t be carried away, an impromptu sales receipt can be drawn up with a deposit and an exchange of telephone numbers to hold the item until the traffic has dwindled and you can return with a vehicle to pick up your treasure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);" lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What about parking?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;"&gt;Parking is limited at the best of times!

If you must drive, kindly park your car and walk&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;in the neighbourhood rather than cruising in your car to reduce congestion/pollution.

The site contains an old linseed oil factory, built in 1915, and a smaller office building about the size of a house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2003, the city commissioned a feasibility study to prepare scenarios and determine if a new community centre could re-use the existing old factory on the site. The study concluded the building was structurally sound (solid concrete) and could be creatively renovated into a community centre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To speed up the development of the site and to help raise funds, the community formed the non-profit Wabash Building Society in 2006. The WBS is currently focused on a small-scale renovation of the smaller building on the site to meet some immediate park needs, such as washrooms. (For example, more than 700 children are enrolled in Sorauren Park soccer and baseball programs, serviced only by two porta-potties that are taken away once the season ends.) The smaller building will also serve as a meeting space and headquarters for the development of the community centre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is still much work to be done in order to fully realize the vision of a fully functional community centre for residents in the Roncesvalles area! Your generous support will help realize this vision!&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-top: 0.11cm; margin-bottom: 0.11cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.buildwabashnow.org/"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;"&gt;www.buildwabashnow.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-top: 0.11cm; margin-bottom: 0.11cm; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);" lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;How do I donate to the Wasbash Community Centre/Sorauren Park Fieldhouse?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Cheques can be mailed or dropped off to:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 100%;"&gt;Wabash Building Society&lt;br /&gt;c/o 101 Fermanagh Avenue&lt;br /&gt;Toronto, ON M6R 1M1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.buildwabashnow.org/"&gt;www.buildwabashnow.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;"&gt;RAYS buyers and sellers - have fun on May 23rd!

Price all your items, either individually or in groups (e.g., books 25 cents). Display items on tables or in boxes according to type and/or price.  Have a cash box or change apron with lots of coins for change.  In the case of large items that can’t be carried away, an impromptu sales receipt can be drawn up with a deposit and an exchange of telephone numbers to hold the item until the traffic has dwindled and you can return with a vehicle to pick up your treasure.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What about parking?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS,cursive;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;"&gt;Parking is limited at the best of times!  We encourage you to &lt;b&gt;walk, ride your bike or take the TTC &lt;/b&gt;for best access.  If you must drive, kindly park your car and walk&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;in the neighbourhood rather than cruising in your car to reduce congestion/pollution.  The amount of pedestrian traffic makes driving dangerous for everyone.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4 class="western" lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Are there any designated “no parking zones”?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;All the usual parking rules are in effect.

The site contains an old linseed oil factory, built in 1915, and a smaller office building about the size of a house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2003, the city commissioned a feasibility study to prepare scenarios and determine if a new community centre could re-use the existing old factory on the site. The study concluded the building was structurally sound (solid concrete) and could be creatively renovated into a community centre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To speed up the development of the site and to help raise funds, the community formed the non-profit Wabash Building Society in 2006. The WBS is currently focused on a small-scale renovation of the smaller building on the site to meet some immediate park needs, such as washrooms. (For example, more than 700 children are enrolled in Sorauren Park soccer and baseball programs, serviced only by two porta-potties that are taken away once the season ends.) The smaller building will also serve as a meeting space and headquarters for the development of the community centre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is still much work to be done in order to fully realize the vision of a fully functional community centre for residents in the Roncesvalles area!  Your generous support will help realize this vision!&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-top: 0.11cm; margin-bottom: 0.11cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.buildwabashnow.org/"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,sans-serif;"&gt;www.buildwabashnow.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
