Red Cross Book Fair - buy a book or volunteer

The Monroe County Red Cross will hold its annual book fair at the county fairgrounds October 1 - 6. They are in need of volunteers to help set out books from Sept. 26 - 30 for 2 hour shifts between 8 am and 5pm (except noon - 1) daily.

Volunteers are also needed to work during the book fair during the following times:
October 1 - 2 8am to noon and 1pm to 9pm
October 3, 4, and 5 8am to noon and 1pm to 6 pm
October 6th 8am to noon and 1pm to 5pm

Not available during these day? No problem! Consider helping with tear-down days (Wednesday, October 7 through Thursday, October 8) are when we re-box the leftover books, fold tables, and load the trucks. Hours are 8am to noon and 1pm to 5pm.

Whether or not you can volunteer, consider visiting the book fair to find a bargain on bestsellers.

Contact June Taylor at332-7292 or jtaylor@monroe-redcross.org.

One of our CareFest projects will be to help Red Cross clean and reorganize their basement after the months of book fair preparations.
