Starbucks' book drive yielded over 3,000 books that were donated to BookPALS' classrooms, teachers, churches, shelters and Saint Vincent de Paul. Thank you to Washington School District Distribution Center for allowing us to store and sort books at their warehouse. Children went home with books to read for the summer and they were delighted!
I have a few boxes of books remaining in my garage. If BookPALS readers would like to start the year out with a gift to their children, please call me and we can arrange a pickup. I'm grateful, too, to the volunteers and teachers who helped sort books: BookPALS-- Marc Rutt, and friend Richard, Elayne Stein, Dave Hopson, Sharon Dunn, Bill Case, and Eleanor Hofmann. Educators -- Carrie Hartman, Diane Hecker, and Judy Miner.
