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.
