Good morning fellow MOU members. First of all many thanks to all of you who have generously donated books for past book sales and to those of you who have supported the MOU and added to your bird library by purchasing these books. This is an important source of income for the MOU averaging approximately $1,000 per year the last few years. This income helps us fund the many projects we support in the interest of bird education, conservation, etc. Also, thanks to John Moriarty for coordinating the paper session book sale the last few years and to Denny and Barb Martin for helping for several years before that.
John has indicated that he will not be able to coordinate the book sale this year, so we need a new volunteer or volunteers to help us with this. The responsibilities of this coordinator include soliciting and collecting books from donors throughout the year (A number of traveling birders around the state have traditionally helped with this.), pricing the books, getting the books to the Bell Museum the day of the paper session (December 5, 2015, this year), staffing the book table and selling the books the day of the paper session. We have a place for storing books prior to the paper session and John Moriarty has indicated that he would assist the new volunteer (-s) as needed. Please contact me if you would be willing to help us as our book sale coordinator. Maybe several of you could form a team to do this. Also, the paper session is only four months away. If you have books to donate, please contact me and we will try to arrange to collect them. Many thanks, Roy Zimmerman President, MOU ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
