Book ReViews Gives $2000
On August 4, 2009 Book ReViews presented a check for $1,000 to Community Playschool Inc, North Newton, KS and $1,000 to Salvation Army, Newton, KS.
The gift to Salvation Army is designated for school supplies. Marcia Brazil, the Service Director for Salvation Army said, “The request for school supplies is greater than ever before, probably due to the economy, so this donation is very timely.” (First photo: Vern Preheim, Manager of Book ReViews, presents a check to Marcia Brazil, Service Director of Salvation Army.)
Upon receiving the check, Jeanette Leary, Co-director of the Community Playschool said, “We are grateful for this gift, because we have more applications for scholarships this year than last year. This donation helps us a lot.” (Second photo: Jeanette Leary (on left), Community Playschool, Co-Director receives check from Judith Bartel, Accountant for Book ReViews.)
