BREAKING NEWS-  BOOKS FOR THE WORLD
by …. DG “Mac” MacDonald
Marcellus School District has thousands of good books that they are packing.  Perhaps up to 10 pallets!
     These “orphan books” need sponsors at $225 per pallet.  That’s less than $.13/lb.
     No lifting...no sorting…no packing.  Just $! We’ll label each sponsored pallet with your club’s name.
     Accomplish a meaningful international avenue of service project handled by Rotarians at every point.  This is a terrific bargain and a great opportunity for your club.
Simple 3-step project:
1) Decide to help hundreds of kids learn
2) Write check for $225 made out to CNY Books for the World, Inc.
3) Mail check to: CNY Books for the World, Inc.
