ImageThanks to Ithaca Rotary Club members Rob Sharkey, Jim Johnston, Jim Fogel Edward Kokkelenberg and Dale Johnson for helping pack 48 cartons of surplus textbooks on October 12. With the help of Cornell University fraternity brothers from Alpha Sigma Phi, Aaron Schiller, Ian Fabbioli, Tiss Doci and Mike Hoyt, we were done in record time. A big thanks to Brian Sgrecci of 4 Seasons Landscaping who stacked and wrapped two pallets (24 cartons each) and transported them to Agway for temporary storage until they can be picked up sent to school children in South Africa. Our total number of books collected, packed and shipped, since we started two years ago, is over 23,000!

On October 20, our BFTW team visited the Friends of the Library Booksale. We selected, packed and purchased 1067 books that evening.

Assisting our club members were IC Rotaractors Cary Haase and Lea Foster.

We will be back at the booksale on October 24 for more.
