GIANT YARD SALE

TO BENEFIT The EFZ

SATURDAY MAY 17 AT 10:30AM

At MASS Ave. and LINNEAN St.

(Between Harvard Sq. and Porter Sq. across from the Rite Aid)

Volunteers are needed to help set up at 9:30AM. We also need people to work the yard sale and to help clean up at around 4:30PM

Bring your donated items Saturday morning from 9:30 on. If you have items to be picked up call Bill Cavellini at 617 718 7433. Call as soon as you know you need a pick-up to allow time for scheduling.

The EFZ still has a debt of several thousand dollars that must be paid! You can help by Donating, Volunteering some time and Buying stuff.

Come and help out the organization that has helped so many Cambridge tenants.

EFZ Activists:
Workshop for Tenants on Eviction Due to Forclosure

Have you:
Been told to leave your apartment because the property owner has changed?

Received threats from a bank, realtor, or mortgage company?

Don't despair!
If you have a federal rental subsidy, such as Section 8, you have legal protection to remain in your apartment. No matter how you pay your rent, you have more rights than you think.

See "Events" at www.mbhp.org
