Hillsborough Pointe Subdivision, Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao, Philippines (30 July 2011) — A one-day garage sale was held by the homeowners association of the Hillsborough Pointe Subdivision today at the subdivision’s clubhouse. The sale was done in order to raise funds for the association and to provide a venue for neighbors living inside the subdivision to meet and know each other better.
Since the subdivision’s establishment, the number of houses and families living in it has significantly increased over the years. Having a community project such as a garage sale does provide neighbors a venue to interact better with each other and get to know each other better. Unlike the place where I grew up (not inside a subdivision), everyone knows everyone in the neighborhood and there was no need to have planned activities such as a garage sale.
