Dates to Remember
Time flies when you’re having fun
I heard someone say today that we are already one eighth of the way through 2025. Crikey!!
Do you know these people?
Thanks to the generosity of Canberrans and the even wider community, the Club receives a continuous stream of donations of books for us to sell at the Book Fair. Quite obviously some of these have been part of a family’s downsizing process. This week the hard-working book processing team found, in one such box, a wedding album and many other obviously family photos.
It’s fairly certain that these were inadvertently put in a box with other books. If you know or know of the people in the pictures, please let Polly know so that we can offer to return them.
Book Fair Donations
Whilst on the matter of donations for the Book Fair, we will close off receipt of donations on FRIDAY 14TH MARCH. As you can imagine, the task of preparing for a massive effort over the three days of the Fair is a big one. We need our volunteers to have the time and energy for those preparations without also trying to keep up with the cleaning, sorting and storing of new donations.
If you have been planning to bring in any clean, resaleable books, comics, CDs, DVDs, audio books, jigsaws, and games we’ll be delighted to receive them up until Friday 14 March!
