The International Women's Club of Cancun will be hold our annual Book Sale fundraiser today Saturday October 3rd. The sale will be held in the Salon Tulum at Hotel Oasis America, which is on Tulum Ave near the Glorieta de los Mariscos (the seashell roundabout). The sale will begin at about 10:30 am and will run for about 2 hours, it should be over by 12:30 pm. We will be selling books, DVDs and CDs CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP!! All money raised will support our chosen charities for this year which are La Casa de la Esperanza A.C. (a home for needy children) and Respeta, Ayuda y Protege A.C. (aka RAP, which does animal rescue). Hope to see you there!
V - It was pretty good I think. I didn't work the Book Sale, but I was there as a buyer. They made almost $5000 MXP in 2 hours, so that's not bad, especially when you realize that the prices for the books were really low. I saw some people walking out with 20 or 30 books, they really stocked up. I only bought 4 books, I've got an entire shelf of books on my must-read list, so I can't let myself buy too many more before I get caught up. And the majority of the books at the book sale were, um, beach reads...and I don't read a lot of those. I think that Nancy over at Needful Things (http://needfulthings-cancun.com/) came at the end and bought up a lot of books, she does that most years.
