ARHS Africa Scholars bookfair June7

ARHS AFRICAN SCHOLARS PROGRAM TO HOLD BOOKFAIR AT BARNES & NOBLE JUNE 7

SAVE THE DATE!  The ARHS African Scholars Program will hold a bookfair on Saturday, June 7, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Barnes & Noble store in Hadley.  The event is a fundraiser for the group's exchange program with schools in West Africa.  Proceeds will go to the program's scholarship fund, which assists students whose families cannot afford the full cost of the exchange trip.

The bookfair will include a series of Africa-related events throughout the day, including children's stories, printmaking and other crafts, a scavenger hunt, a cooking demonstration, and an art display.  The schedule will be posted at http://blogs.arps.org/africanscholars/.

Up to 20% of all sales at Barnes & Noble that day will be donated to the African Scholars Program if patrons identify themselves as bookfair participants.  Please come and support this worthy cultural exchange program!
