Current Updates!

Martha Nicholson, our extraordinary Book Sale Coordinator, shared: This sale seemed unique to me because all the buyers were so gracious. They praised and thanked us for the “work” we do for Pinney; they added donations to their purchases; they expressed delight with the books they were able to buy so inexpensively; and they wanted to know when we were having our next sale.  

Pam Denny, our Board Treasurer, confirmed the sense of success: our total profit was $1,544.09!

Thank you to each and every volunteer and customer!
