Book Sale Helpers Needed
Earn SSL hours
April 28 - May 8, 2016
Help raise money for scholarships while earning SSL hrs and having fun!
AAUW Gaithersburg sponsors a book sale May 5 - 7 to raise funds for scholarships and
programs for girls. We promote a clean environment by recycling books which otherwise
enter the solid waste stream. Most books sell at modest prices, $3 or less, to encourage
reading and literacy. The event has been preapproved by MCPS for SSL hrs.
AAUW needs volunteers to help sort and organize over 30,000 books. This event is at
Asbury Methodist Village in Gaithersburg, near Lakeforest Mall. Prior to the sale - from
Thursday April 28 to Wednesday, May 4 - we prepare for the sale which runs from
Thursday, May 5 to Saturday afternoon, May 7. On Sunday, May 8 we will clean up.
