Get Involved in Magnolia Woods in May

Get to know your neighbors in May! The following events are available to all Magnolia Woods neighbors.

Saturday, May 4 – Magnolia Woods Annual Garage Sale

Start your spring cleaning today! This annual event is a great way to meet your neighbors and maybe find a treasure (or two). The association will advertise the sale in the Advocate, on Nextdoor, and online (Craig’s List, etc.) as a service to Magnolia Woods residents.  Hang balloons or ribbons on your mail box so drivers know you’re open for business.  Set out a few lounge chairs and wait for the shoppers to drift on by.

If you don’t want to have a sale of your own, go support your neighbor’s! Several community organizations will come and take away your leftovers at the end of your sale. Happy Hunting!

Saturday, May 11 – First Annual Run-At-Your-Own-Risk Unofficial Mag Woods 5K Run/Walk

How about some fresh air and sunshine? Join your neighbors in this first-ever fun run that will begin and end at the Magnolia Woods Pool. No registration required and it’s FREE! Strollers, dogs and families are welcome. If you would like to volunteer rather than run/walk, here is a sign-up link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/904084FA8AA22A31-1stannual
