‘Sincere appreciation’
Dear Editor:
We are pleased to announce that the 36th Annual Elora Festival Giant Book Sale was again a big success, in spite of the frigid temperatures over the entire three days of the sale.
Opening at 1pm on May 1 helped ease the traditional congestion of the first day. We are grateful for generous donations of sale items from the whole community throughout the year, as well as the fantastic support we receive from Rona Elora, The Centre Wellington Food Bank, FUNDrive, Elora Curling Club, The Grand 101, and of course, the Wellington Advertiser.
Our sincere appreciation goes out to the many volunteers who give freely of their time and energy to collect, sort, pack, prepare, arrange and sell the thousands of items up for sale.
And we can’t forget to thank the many patrons who come out and spend their hard earned dollars on the gently-used books, games, puzzles and music. The proceeds from the sale provide a much-appreciated infusion of cash to help keep the music alive in our wonderful community.
The donation cupboard at 380 St. Andrew Street W. in Fergus will reopen for donations of gently used items on June 8, after allowing our volunteers time for a much-needed rest.
Judy Bates and Karen Eddie,
Co-Chairs, Elora Festival Book Sale Committee
