Feedback on Community Yard Sales
U.S. Army Garrison Japan would like community feedback on yard sales. Should we conduct them or do most families just sell used items via online platforms? If we do host community sales, how many times a year? What would you like to see for the sales?
You can send us a private Facebook message or email the Public Affairs Office at: USAGJapan@gmail.com.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts you want to provide!
Reminder for Everyone to Clean Up After Your Pets
Here’s a friendly reminder to ensure you’re cleaning up after your pets.
While most of our residents are being great neighbors, some people are not cleaning up after their pets during walks. Also, please keep your pet’s outdoor area at your housing unit clean.
Thank you to everyone who is already following these rules!
