826 Seattle - Benefit Booksale

On May 7th from 10am-6pm, I'm going to be volunteering at a booksale at the Wallingford Center. The booksale is a fundraising event to benefit 826 Seattle, a new nonprofit organization, which will be located in Greenwood. As a chapter of 826 National, 826 Seattle will provide area youth with writing programs and tutoring free of charge. The program will be modeled after Dave Eggers' (of McSweeney's fame) highly successful 826 Valencia in San Francisco. I helped set up the sale today and it looks like we're going to have some really great books at prices you can't beat. Combine that with the fact that the money is going to a great cause and it's hard to think of a better way to spend part of your Saturday afternoon!
