We’ve all seen the emails on LincolnTalk advertising donated artwork and other stuff to benefit the Lincoln METCO Coordinating Committee (MCC). But how did those hundreds of items get from donor to buyer? Find out in “Downsize for Diversity: How We Raised $122,000 with a Pickup Truck and a LittleHelp from Our Friends <https://store.bookbaby.com/book/downsize-for-diversity>” published by the MCC.
The book is packed with photos of everything from paintings, furniture, and rugs to a computer server cabinet and even an antique proctoscope (and the prices they sold for) as they pass from the hands of downsizing donors to volunteers. You’ll follow those volunteers as they learn how to move heavy and valuable items, how to advertise them and get them ready for sale, and how to run an estate sale and a nonprofit business. “Downsize for Diversity” shows how anyone can raise money by selling donated items while having fun along the way. All income from sales of the book goes to the MCC. Look inside and buy now from BookBaby.com <https://store.bookbaby.com/book/downsize-for-diversity> to maximize MCC’s royalties, or pre-order on Amazon.com <https://smile.amazon.com/Downsize-Diversity-Raised-Pickup-Friends/dp/1667822799/> or Barnes & Noble.com <https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/downsize-for-diversity-joanna-schmergel/1140946913?ean=9781667822792>.
