Additional note: At this meeting, we are having a book donation where members bring in baseball books they they wish to discard that will sell for 20% of the original sales price. These books will be placed on a table in the back of the Conference Room. The proceeds from these donations will go into our NWSABR treasury. So if you want to clear out space in your own personal library bring some books!
