Rotary Radio Week continues on CKDM, and today's featured member is JL Guillas.
Guillas, a member of the Rotary Club since 2005, spoke about next months book sale,
"Many people in the parkland will know it; it's been established for a long, long, long time. Actually, it was started by our former mayor Al Dowhan. So, it's great to be continuing his work on that."
Guillas says they would usually hold this event twice a year, but the pandemic has impacted that,
"We had a hiatus during COVID but were able to do it again this year. November 4th, 5th and 6th."
Guillas noted that there is a significant change coming to the book sale, but it will still look mostly the same,
"We are moving to the Under One Roof or the former United Church auditorium on 3rd avenue northwest. Sort of the same format as normal, books are all donated kindly by the community, and we try and raise money and do good things with it."
JL says the club will not be collecting book donations for this sale like in prior years,
"Frankly, we have a lot of books already, we've collected an excellent collection, and we're eager for people to come and stock up for your winter reads."
Portions of the money raised from the book sales will be going towards a scholarship fund for local students, and anyone who attends will need to show proof of vaccination.
Guillas says he is looking forward to continuing to help the community as a part of the Rotary Club.
