Now that the Dalai Lama has come and gone, it’s time to change the world. You can start doing it one book at a time, so says Gertie the Bookbus.
On Saturday, May 11th from 1-6 pm, Books To The People will hold a Pie and Ice Cream Social and Mother’s Day Cookbook Sale at the Westside Christian Church, 1866 Chambers Street (opposite the Bi-Mart parking lot).
Incorporated in 2009, Books To The People is an Oregon nonprofit which sponsors GERTIE THE BOOKBUS, our blue and white repurposed bookmobile which drives around and gives away great books for absolutel free. In addition to the pie and ice cream, our fundraiser will feature music, poetry, tables piled high with cookbooks and wonderful doorprizes. Suggested donation is $10 for individuals and $20 max for families. All proceeds go towards operating expenses (like books and fuel!)
