Southern California AAA "Westways" Magazine published a simple yet effective one-page article on garage organizing in the September issue.
The piece profiled how to actually get started and what to do with all the stuff left over. We especially liked the paragraph on making the garage look better by not just plopping your junk back in the corner, but actually creating systems for effective storage.
We could not locate the article online, but here is the magazine cover and a link to some of the articles.
Bravo to the the author! She mentioned the National Association of Professional Organizers and opportunities for hiring organizers. Because the magazine serves SoCal, we'd thought we'd write a quick letter to remind the editors of the two official NAPO chapters here in the region. Many thanks to Claire Flannery, our colleague here in Los Angeles who helped us proof the letter:
"Dear Westways Editor, It was refreshing to read Brenda Tabor’s excellent September piece, “Take Back Your Garage.” We Southern Californians are known by the cars we drive but our cars are only as good as the garages that house them. A messy garage often needs outside help."
"Bravo to Brenda for mentioning the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) but she neglected to let your readers know that there are actually two local NAPO chapters right here in Southern California - one in Los Angeles (www.napola.org) and another in San Diego (www.naposandiego.com). Either website can help locate a professional organizer to clear out the clutter and get the car back into the garage where it belongs."
John Trosko, President, NAPO Los Angeles
