Discussion of a Better World Books Book Drive Challenge - Guidance

Body

Action Required:

Guidance

 

Description:

The book drive is organized and executed through Better World Books and they will provide collection bins and marketing materials.  All books are accepted including textbooks.  Better World Books will sell, donate or recycle all books collected and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Star House.  The tentative plan is for a month long drive to occur in March 2011.  Roswell Fire and Police Departments could challenge the departments of the five other North Fulton Cities to see who can collect the most books to benefit STAR House Foundation.  STAR House is an after-school educational program serving North Fulton County students.  There are approximately 200 children in the STAR House program.
