Up and out at 8, picked up Frank at 8:25, over to CHM. Moved our 12 boxes of books out and arrayed them on our table. There was barely room for everything. Here’s the table with Frank and a few shoppers.
Dennis arrived pretty soon and stayed to noon. He’s behind the table where the arrow points. Nikole had done a great job of getting more volunteers so we had 2-5 FOPAL people there all the time.
Business was good. Lots of people bought one book, but two guys really loaded up. One bought something like 25 books. By the end of the day we had taken in close to $800. The table was looking a bit thin, and everything left had been picked-over multiple times so probably wasn’t going to sell.
So at 6pm closing time, Frank and I drove back to FOPAL and hit up the Bargain Room and the towering stacks of boxes behind it, and found another 3 or 4 boxes of books that might sell to this crowd. That will freshen up the table for tomorrow.
What with that and then dropping Frank off at his place, I didn’t get home until 8. Tomorrow I get to do it again.
