More Books, Puzzles Games and Toys are Needed!!!!!
Urgent Action Required!!!!!
The Collecting Stage of the Bookarama 4 Kids & Sale is underway but More are Needed to Make it a Successful Event to Help Kids Reading and Provide a Great School Holiday Activity.
Howick Rotary, who are organizing the sale event in conjunction with Frith Jenkins from Howick Village Optometrist, urgently need donations of books, games, puzzles and toys for children of all ages including teens. There are 5 drop off points:
Howick Village Optometrist in Picton Street
Grasslands in Moore Street
Placemakers Pakuranga on Pakuranga Road
Farm Cove Intermediate on Butley Drive
Café Danske Mobler in Botany Town Centre
The sale will be held at the War Memorial Information Centre between Wednesday 10th to Friday 12th July.
The sale was initiated last year in a discussion between Frith Jenkins and Rotarians to encourage kids and teens to read books at the same time as having a local community activity for parents and grandparents with kids to enjoy during the school holidays. New Bookarama Convenor David Fels said “the club was pleased with the results from the first year and want to see whether we can add this albeit smaller more specialized event to the annual Bookarama calendar”.
