Celebrating Books for International Goodwill's 4 Millionth Book Distribution

Fri, April 9, 2010
6-8pm

Edgewater, MD

Join SVBA and the Parole Rotary Club for a night of fun, food and celebration as we commemorate the distribution of Books for International Goodwill's (www.big-books.org) 4 millionth book!

For over 15 years, Books for International Goodwill (B.I.G.) has successfully recycled used books for productive use by those who need books for schools and libraries to improve literacy in developing communities around the world. BIG has shipped 4 million books over the last fifteen years to poor communities overseas, as well as to Indian Reservations and communities recovering from natural disasters. Over 100 container loads (each with over 20,000 books) have gone by ship to countries in Africa, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia. Additionally, more than 1,000 smaller shipments have been mailed to US Service Personnel, Peace Corps volunteers, and other mission-sponsored schools.

Included in the evening's celebration:
- Free book bag and books.
- Silent auction.
- Heavy hors d'oeuvres.
- Literary libations.
- Comments By BRIAN LAMB, Founder of C-SPAN and host of BOOKNOTES (invited).

Suggested guest donation: $20. Dress: business casual.
