Wanna Help?

Hello Bookies!

I will bring this up, again, in tomorrow's meeting (if Sarah doesn't mind me taking over for a few minutes) but I have been looking into a group called Inside Books Project.
About Inside Books-
The Inside Books Project is an all-volunteer non-profit organization, providing free literature and educational material to the Texas incarcerated population, which now exceeds 160,000 people. Based in Austin, Inside Books is the only books to prisoners project in the state of Texas. Out of the 27 projects nationwide Inside Books is one of only five providing free reading material and resources to Texas' indigent prisoners. Given these facts, our work is essential to the education, self-empowerment, and need of the men and women that make up the largest prisoner population of any other state in the country.

The Inside Books Project library is stocked almost entirely by quality book donations we receive from community supporters.
Most commonly requested books include:

Dictionaries (English, Spanish-English, and Law)
Thesauruses
African and African-American history, politics, culture
GED or Basic Education Materials
Foreign Language (Spanish)
How-to books (art, carpentry, etc.)
Please DO NOT donate hardcover fiction, outdated reference books, outdated textbooks, college course catalogues, encyclopedia sets, travel guides, pornography, or martial arts.

If you fine ladies have a book or two, sitting around on the shelf, don't let it go to waste! Bring it to tomorrow's meeting and I will take it/them with me when I take my own.


Also, under the title of "Wanna Help", I am considering having a garage sale to raise money for one of my many doggie organizations. Or, if you want to help with the garage sale, by donating, helping to set up or working for a few hours, you can throw some needy organization ideas at me and I will happily look into em. I just have some junk I want to get rid of and I want to try to use that junk to help out the pups. I raised around $300 last year for the San Angelo Humane society. Not much but every dollar counts and I got to clean out some of my closets.
So, do you have junk you wanna donate? Do you have time that you can donate? I have not decided the when or even the where. If you think your house would be a good spot for a garage sale, I am all over it. Otherwise, I have seen loads of folks have em out here in the sticks.

That's all. I can't wait to see you guys, at Freddies.
