We're out in the community with posters having been distributed to local businesses in Ambleside, Park Royal, Horseshoe Bay, Edgemont Village, Caulfield, and the Blue Buses. Distribution took place prior to the Community Day Celebrations, June 3rd. Posters went on display in the Library mid May and the book marks went into circulation on June 5th. Our banner on the Marine Drive Pedestrian overpass at Park Royal went on display Friday, June 9th. We are using last year's poster design, the stack of books. Thanks to Mary Holland, we believe the stack of books represents our message to the public. Our thanks to Extra Foods at Park Royal South for 500 large brown bags for the Sunday Sale. We still need plastic bags. Our thanks also to everyone for the hard work and many dedicated hours given so far, but we still need more volunteers for the actual sale. We hope you will say "Yes" to Natalie Logan when she calls. Or, please call Natalie at 922-6281. We need markers, cashiers, elevator operators as well as help providing directions and tidying up the shelves once the sale commences Note: Friends are reminded to settle up with Ron Lucas as soon as possible for money owing on books taken prior to the sale. Ron has expressed concern that this is a time consuming process so please pay up as quickly as possible. Ron can be reached at 922-7928. Thank you for understanding.
