UPDATE ON BOOKS PROJECT

What good friends the Starobilsk Library has in America! We've received over $300 in gifts so far for our English-language books, including gifts in Loren's memory. That's one-third of our $900 goal! Thanks so much.

Only $600 to go by 15 September. That's the start of a new school year. It's the best time to buy new books and announce their availability to all the schools here and in surrounding small villages. I know lots of teachers and students who are waiting! The impact of your gift will radiate out like a pepple thrown in a clear pond!

Also, when you go to "http://www.peacecorps.gov/">and click on DONATE (you need to enter "Cary" and then "Ukraine"), you'll see a list in the left column. Click on FAQs for more information about giving, memorial gifts, how much of your gift goes to the project, and receipts for tax deductions.

I'll inform the English Club of our progress at our 27 June meeting, and send you another update then. With gratitude from Starobilsk, Fran
