Attention book lovers – mark your calendars! Our seventh annual ‘Toonie Book Sale’ is coming soon, in support of The Community Ascent Network.
We have hundreds of nearly new books, including contemporary fiction, mystery, romance, and non-fiction, both hardcover and paperback, all available for a donation of just one ‘toonie’ each. This popular event is a great opportunity to stock up for your winter reading (or perhaps pick up some Christmas gifts) while supporting a worthy cause!
All proceeds from this sale will go towards providing education and other opportunities for the youth of Pinàn, Ecuador. Community Ascent Network is a registered Canadian charity founded by local resident Simon Cretien, who is helping this remote Indigenous community fulfill their dream of high school education and a brighter future for their children.
CAN is now funding post-secondary education and creating community employment opportunities. You can learn more about this ongoing project on their website: www.communityascent.com.
Do you have books you’d like to contribute to this cause? We’re still happily accepting book donations – contemporary, classics, children’s – as long as they’re in very good condition. Books can be dropped off at the address above any time before the end of September.
The sale will be held indoors, rain or shine. Come and browse, we look forward to seeing you on October 3rd.
For more information, please contact Adrian or Robert at 613-257-4233, or email us at appletonstudio@gmail.com
