Penticton Sunrise Rotary's largest fundraiser was cancelled due to Covid 19. Bins were out in various locations around Penticton and Summerland in March when the lockdown started. The collected books were stored in a large rented bin until this past week when they were sorted and moved to our storage locker. Thank you to everyone who donated books, to the businesses were bins were located and to the Penticton Curling Club where the large bin was located. We will be back next year!
