Many apologies for not posting about the Book Fair earlier. We had a wonderful day at Barnes and Noble and so many people stopped at our table to say hello, to get more information about our services, and to make sure they had a sticker to inform the cashier that their purchase included a donation to Springfield Partners for Community Action.
Here are just a few photos from that day. One is Keshawn Dodds signing his book for a customer. One photo is of three kids in the audience reading Gabby Saturday. And the third is all the authors. From left to right: Crystal Senter Brown, Jacqueline Williams-Hines, Keshawn Dodds with his daughter Sydney, and Latoya Bosworth. They were just exceptional and wonderfully entertaining. Thanks again to all of you!
We don't have a final sales total yet as we have to wait for online sales to be computed. We do know however, that we have enough for our goal - to purchase a new book for each child at our daycare center, New Beginnings. The books will be wrapped and presented to the children at Christmas.
So, many thanks to all those who bought books, coffee, or pretty much anything at all that day. Thanks to the board and staff members and volunteers who worked the table that day. And many thanks to the local authors who were just amazing. Each one gave a reading from their books and it was all entertaining and dynamic. All in all, it was just a great way to spend a day.
