MOU listserv readers
For you who are not MOU members or have not seen the latest "Minnesota Birding" issue online, here is important info for the book sale. The MOU paper session will again include a big book sale. All proceeds go to the Savaloja Grants Program. Last year there were 100's of books available at the meeting. Liz Harper and Alex Sundvall spent many hours receiving, transporting, sorting, and selling the books. The money raised helped fund many educational, research, and conservation programs in MN. I copied and pasted this info from MN Birding:: "MOU Book Sale If you have bird books that you no longer use, please consider donating them to the MOU for the annual MOU Book Sale. The sale will be held at the Paper Session on December 7. All proceeds from the Book Sale go toward the MOU’s Savaloja Grants Program, which provides funding to bird research, conservation, and education in Minnesota. To donate, you may either bring your books directly to the Paper Session or email Alex Sundvall ([email protected]) to schedule a pickup prior to the event. NB: Due to quantity, we are only accepting books about birds. We cannot accept journals or magazines."
