Friends of the Library - Annual Party

Yeah!!!! A party that we don't have to plan or hold in our house.  The Friends of the Sacramento Public Library, which I have the honor to serve on, holds a very truncated board meeting in December so that the rest of the evening can be devoted to celebration and good wishes.  Everyone brings some desert or munchies and someone always brings wine which certainly seems to loosen  up some people.

We could have been celebrating a good year meeting all our financial goals and many of the organizational plans as well.  But even if we hadn't had a very good year, we could have celebrated last Saturday's WAREHOUSE BARGAIN SALE.  We managed to bring in over $12,000 when our usual warehouse sale weekends usually bring in only half that.  A normal week books typically around $1,000 or just enough to pay the rent.

If you're in town (Sacramento) this Saturday come see all the books that were left and the thousands more which we didn't have room on the shelves for.  This weekend could easily top last one.
