Nancy Baker, the book sale leader, reported on the book sale that took place April 20 & 21 (of course lots of background work before those dates and even after). We promoted recycling, had a line-up of customers outside the door of Shawn & Eds Brewing Company and had a busy two days. We received several in kind donations such as the rental truck from Turner Family Funeral Homes and sorting space at the reception centre, the poster design and creation by Cynthia Hastings-James, RoBear escapades and promotion, heavy lifting and sorting by the Dundas Dynamo Basketball team, exceptional organizational and floor captain work by Denise Martins and Scott Vance and endless other supportive tasks by so many of you. Also, a thank you to Ian Norman from North Design Build for storing the books all winter and delivering them to the reception centre. Compared to the first sale last fall we were open one day and several hours less but increased our donations by $53.32 in a little over half the time. The final result is $2617.60. The funds raised go to support youth scholarships, bursaries and awards for local area students.
