Volunteers Needed for Coin Challenge

The Book Fair’s coin collection challenge is coming up April 18-21, and we need volunteers to help count the change! Counting will take place at my house Mon April 18- Thu April 21 at about 9:15 a.m. Any and all help is wonderful, whether you can stay for 30 minutes or 2 hours. Treats will be provided. I do have cats, and if you need to bring a little one along and let them play in my living room that’s fine. Head over to the Signup Genius and sign up for a book fair shift while you are there.
