Even if you cannot be there, please distribute the flyers to everyone you know and encourage them to come to the Chick-Fil-A.  When they present the flyer, Boone Tree will get 15% of the proceeds of the sale.  (Don’t worry that the flyers say Sullivan County Public Library – Theresa will make sure that the money gets to Boone Tree.)

Please contact Virginia Salmon at vlsalmon@northeaststate.edu or Theresa McMahan at tmcmahan@wrlibrary.org if you can help out.  Remember, this event will help out Boone Tree.
