[Bookstoprisoners] Alternative Gifts at the Peace Bazaar

[Suzanne Linder]

Hello all--

I got an email this weekend from Joan Nelshoppen that I have copied below.
Is any one free Saturday, December 3rd from 9-3 to staff a table at the
Peace Bazaar? Jay and I will be out of town that weekend, but it would be
great if the were a few people who could split the time to promote the gift
program. I'm sure that we can have fliers/cards ready for that day if there
are people to staff the booth.

If you can do it, please let the list know and contact Joan Nelshoppen as
well. Her contact info is

My name is Joan Nelshoppen and I coordinate the Peace Bazaar, a local
alternative gift fair now in its 35th year. We sell a lot of recycled things
at the Peace Bazaar and then donate the funds to peace and social justice
groups. Books to Prisoners is not one of the recipients this year (although
there's an extremely good chance it will be in the future) but I think we
might be able to help you a little this year, if you are interested.

In addition to the huge sale, we also have a few booth spaces for charities
and groups to sell their wares or give out information. Would Books to
Prisoners be interested in bringing information about your program and some
of those unique cards and see if you can get some donations while at the
Bazaar? I have no guarantee that you would earn anything (I hope that you
would) but it would be a good chance to educate the public and it could work
out well for you. I hope you will join us at the Peace Bazaar.

 The Peace Bazaar will be held on Saturday, December 3 from 9 am to 3 pm at
Community United Church of Christ (6th and Daniel) in Champaign. Please let
me know if you are interested. You probably should bring your own card table
since we tend to use every table there for the bazaar.

 For more info about the Bazaar, go to: http://www.peacebazaar.org/

There are still a few parts of the web site under construction.

 Also, we sell a lot of books at the Peace Bazaar and we also have many that
are left-over. I was planning on donating them (it will be several boxes) to
Books for Prisoners. Is there any possibility that I could get a few
volunteers from your group to pick them up? I am usually short on volunteers
when it comes time to cart the many left-overs to the various charities. If
that is not possible, could you remind me when your normal hours for
dropping off books are so that I can arrange to do that?

 Yours,

Joan Nelshoppen
