BIG BOOK SALE NETS $2,000!

The Big Book Sale was a big success, making $2,000. We would like to thank Amy Pofcher, Catherine Adams, Thad Evans, Candy McCarthy, Mary Alica McRae, Dave Quesenberry, Jacob Quesenberry, Allison Bostwick and a big round of thanks to Angie Quesenberry. Special thanks to all of the student volunteers from Alisa Everett Alvarez, North Salinas, Salinas High, and North Monterey County High.

After the book sale, FOSPL received a lovely thank you letter from a gentleman who sends books to our military overseas. He thanked us for donated three boxes of books that he will send to units in Afghanistan. We thank him for his efforts too!
