A SMALL EFFORT TO HELP THOSE IN GREATER NEED
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009This is easy…this is so needed! An Open Book LLC has three non-profit agencies that can be supported by you…by your independent bookstore! All you have to do is donate one, a few, or even all of your $10 Customer Loyalty rewards to one of the following charities. You decide…when and how often you wish to make a donation. As we send our bookstore contribution, your name will appear as a “friend and supporter” of our store, and of the charity you select! Wish to make this donation anonymously that is fine also.
WHO CAN YOU HELP?
WOMEN TO WOMEN (W2W)
As a founding member, I am especially proud of this effort, brought about by Kay Broderius. This is a community of women helping our local, community of women.
LEANNA’S CLOSET
The Mission of Leanna’s Closet is to provide clothing for low income and disadvantaged women who are presently working, or those planning to enter the workforce. It is our desire to help each woman become the best she can be, and to show her ways of self-improvement which can make a difference in her life. (Leanna’s Closet was established in honor of Leanne Anderson, who, in her short life…gave so very much to Greeley…to WOMEN of Greeley…and I am proud to say I was lucky to have known her over many, many years!)
PENNIES FOR PEACE, Greg Mortenson

Our Pennies for Peace Program (P4P) educates children about the world beyond their experience and how they can make a positive impact on a global scale, one penny at a time. It teaches children the rewards of sharing and working together to bring hope and education opportunities to the children in Pakistan and Afghanistan. A penny is virtually worthless, but in impoverished countries a penny buys a pencil and opens the door to literacy.
The best hope for a peaceful and prosperous world lies in the education of all the world’s children. Through cross-cultural understanding and a solution-oriented approach, P4P encourages children, ultimately our future leaders, to be active participants in the creation of global peace.
