Thank you St. Clare for making the 29th Annual Book Sale a success—raising over $32,000 for the school. We are especially thankful for our dedicated group of volunteers that helped with book sorting and children’s books. A special thank you to Sharon Keelan, Deanne Meythaler, Rose Regner, Dolores Serra, Rose Marie Stieber, Chee Chee Williams, Katie Weber, and Evelyn Barlow.
We had some new volunteers who dedicated themselves to book sorting that proved to be “naturals”. Special thanks to Maria Marino, Jenny Orzechowski and Janet Yntema for stepping up to help. We are also grateful for our alum parents and teachers: Mary Cascos, Bill Lusk, Kathy Quinn, Jean Irvin Stanley, Mary Jeanne Franzinger and Mary Jo Magee. Book sorting is monumental to the success of the sale and we can’t do it without you! Also, a special recognition to Mr. Alex Vida who gives endless hours of expertise to the entire process and who’s photo should be placed near the definition of bibliophile!
It truly takes a team effort to fine tune this event and contribute to the overall quality that the St. Clare Used Book Sale is based upon. Many thanks for anyone who has lifted bags or boxes of books that mysteriously show up at the portico entrance! Of course, a special thank you to Sr. Kathy and Fr. Andrew for your prayers and support. This event is intrinsic to St. Clare and we look forward to next year as we celebrate our 30th anniversary. Hope you will join us. Thank you!
