Orchard Creek Neighbors (OCN) is a volunteer group of neighbors formed to help build a sense of community and to keep our neighbors aware of issues affecting the safety, property value, and quality of life for all our Orchard Creek residents.

We work with city representatives and community organizations such as the District 10 Leadership Coalition to ensure our neighborhood is kept abreast of City of San Jose and Santa Clara County news or actions potentially affecting us.  We also work with city officials to sponsor beautification, public safety, and other events benefiting our neighborhood.

Garage Sale Tips

Things to consider when joining this garage sale event:

• You do not have to sign up for anything or make any commitment.

• You do not have to participate all three days.

•  The sale will be advertized on Nextdoor Almaden, and Craig's List, and a lot of signage in the neighborhood and on Almaden Expressway.

• What is your goal?  Are you wamting to get rid of things, or perhaps to make some money?

• Consider not putting labels amd dollar amounts on each item.  It is easier for you to allow people to make an offer and you can always refuse. 

• The start time is 8:00 am, but some professional shoppers show up much earlier.

• You can keep your garage door closed and just sell items on the driveway.

• Have a "cash box" available in a protected place.

• Have change available, coins amd dollars up to $20's.

• Do not accept  checks as payment.

• Have a Counterfeit Detector Pen availabe to check $20-$100's. (Available at stationary stores.)

• It is helpful if you have some bags available for people purchasing items.

• Consider selling water and sodas.

If you have any questions or need help, ask Skippi at 7183 Anjou Creek Circle or email questions to orchardcreekneighbors@gmail.com and we will forward your message to Skippi.

(Other places to dispose of things not sold are Savers, Goodwill, United Way, Salvation Army, and of course, our
