Library Books Destroyed by Hurricane Sandy

Hurricane Sandy + Rotary = New Library Books

Hurricane Sandy + Rotary = NEW LIBRARY BOOKS

As we all know there was much devastation with Hurricane Sandy. I have
seen first-hand the homes that were moved off their foundation , homes
totally gone,
homes condemned, homes burned to the ground, much, much sea water
damage. trees turning
brown from sea water, business and public buildings condemned ,
etc,etc...

Our club has teamed up with Barnes & Noble to help the libraries that
lost so many books. We and B&N have a long list of books needed to
replace the destroyed ones. A percentage of all sales at all B&N stores
nation wide
will go to purchase the needed books. The BookFair will run in-store
Sat. April 13, 2013 and
Sunday  April 14, 2013.   Purchases can be made online from April 14th
thru April 19, 2013.        Remember Barnes and Noble stocks Books,
Nook Books, Textbooks, Newsstand, Teens, Kids, Toys &  Games, Home &
Gifts, Movies & TV, Music, Gift Cards, Deals, etc.  They stock over 30
million products.  Free shipping  with a $25.00 order.
For "Hurricane Sandy  Books" to get credit the number 11066743 must be
used at time of sale.  Barnes and Noble  will track the sales and use
those monies to buy the needed books.
B&N has been extremely helpful with this project.  Remember two  of
Rotary
themes are:  "Education"  and "Service above Self"   Any help you can
give will be
greatly appreciated.

In the Spirit of Rotary,
The Rotary Club of Chatham-Millburn-Short Hills, NJ
      ps: THE NUMBER IS:   11066743
