VOICES OF THE HOSPITALITY HOUSE
BOOKLET SALE

A group on campus called the Hospitality House Writer's Group, has been working with guests of Hospitality House, a local shelter in Boone, on creating a booklet, called "Voices of the Hospitality House," to use as a fundraiser for the shelter. It is currently available. To purchase a copy you can email Carl Jenkins at cj23184@appstate.edu. The requested cost is $10, all of which should be tax deductible as most of the costs for printing have been donated (though more donations directly for printing would still be welcome).
