Been busy... so its time to party!

3rd District Common Agenda
Books to Prisoners House Party

What? House party to collect donations for Books to Prisoners–a Seattle-based, all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that sends (paperback only) books to prisoners in the United States.

When? Thursday November 8th.
At Jim and Deana’s house
217 Turnstone Rd.
Stockbridge, GA 30281

Swing by between 6:30 and 8:30pm to drop off books, donations, or to just say hello!

Prisoners request a variety of books. Most prisons accept paperback books only. The most popular requests are dictionaries, thesauruses, African American history and fiction, Native American studies, legal material, GED materials, and languages (particularly Spanish.) Other common requests include fiction, vocational-technical manuals, politics, anthropology, art and drawing, psychology, and health and fitness.

Tax-deductible donations will be accepted (as well as donations to help cover cost of shipping). Donations are tax-deductible to BTP if donation is over $100. If you would like a tax-deductible receipt, please make your check over $100 to "A W.I.S.H." (A World Institute for Sustainable Humanity). They are the sponsoring organization and can provide a tax-deductible receipt and a free BTP t-shirt!
