Book Sale
You might be asking ‘why do we have a book sale every year’? Well, this is how CFUW PQ raises the funds for the scholarships we give out annually ?
Our main fundraiser for both the club and our scholarships is our annual Book Sale. We collect books, and jigsaw puzzles all year long and hold a big sale in the fall. The community is a strong supporter of this activity, both by donating books and attending the book sale. The books and puzzles are all in great condition and very reasonably priced.
From the book sale proceeds we provide monies to the Scholarship and Bursary Trust to fund educational scholarships and bursaries for women and girls (and some boys too) to study locally, nationally, and internationally. Every book and puzzle donated and bought helps our work.
To attend the book sale: watch for our ads in the PQ news and our ads on local radio.
Donate books
You simply drop them into the CFUW PQ Drop Box on the right side of the entrance to Save-On-Foods (insert image). We also accept jigsaw puzzles, as long as no pieces are missing.

We enjoyed our guest speaker, Illana Hester, TOSH Executive Director, providing an informative and inspirational presentation, 'Optimizing Arts Sector Potential on Vancouver Island.'
Today is the National Awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Day. Indigenous women are 10x more likely to go missing- often without amber alerts, searches or investigations. We all have the responsibility to learn more about what we can do about this National crisis.
This painting Alex created has a very spiritual aura about it, it flows and the light strokes brings it to life. This painting is part of our family collection- but we thought we’d share for awareness.
Wind River(2017) and the series Alaska Daily are great places to start. The more we know, the more we can create positive change for future generations. I’ll post the Wiki link in the comments.
Have a beautiful weekend ❤️❤️
