AAUW/Soroptimist Used Book Sale Scheduled

The American Association of University Women (AAUW) and Soroptimist International of Fort Collins invite community members to donate good-quality, unwanted books for their annual Used Book Sale. The February 25-27 sale will be open to the general public at Foothills Mall, 8 am-9 pm Friday and Saturday and 11am-6 pm Sunday.

Proceeds of the annual fundraising event support educational projects benefiting women and families. Last year’s sale was a huge success, bringing in $20,000. Community donations will assure an abundant selection of books for this year’s shoppers and keep quality books out of the landfill. All books will be recycled through the sale, donations to needy, or environmentally friendly means.

The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is a national organization fostering societal change while promoting equity for women, education and self-development over the life span. Soroptimist International is a worldwide service organization of business and professional women working to advance human rights & the status of women.

For information about the fundraiser, to volunteer, or to donate books—call Margaret at 482-8210, or Mary at 227-1398.
