BOOK CART REPORT One hot, sunny afternoon in July, Friends book cart members gathered in the home of Co-ordinator Patricia Treadwell, for an afternoon tea in appreciation and thanks for their service over these past three years or more. Three teams of six people each take care of this very $$Successful project, along with the "Pit Crew" who assemble suitable material for display. We received a "Thank You" from HANS (Health Action Network Society, 1984). Especially to Patricia Treadwell, who so kindly delivered our unsold health books to them. These books are used as a resource for medical practitioners, students and researchers. HANS looks forward to the day that they can open their library to the general public.
