Club GLOW Gevgelija: Book exchange project preparations & choosing new officers

We are both, happy and sad to announce that after this project the officers positions will be taken by the new officers who we truly believe can't wait to experience what it's like to lead our club. The officers election was done through voting and both, old and new members share the leadership of the club.

However, we are currently very busy planning our Book exchange project. So far, we've put posters around town and we'd want to use this opportunity to thank the Apollonia Foundation for printing those posters for us! We've also collected donated books from the local library, high school Josif Josifovski's library and individuals as well. We want to thank our volunteer Kathy for donating books in English.

Having the posters made, printed, put around town all that's left for us to do is promote our event through facebook (here's link to it http://www.facebook.com/events/334380783264912/ ) and give out flyers to people on March 8th. We chose this day because it's close to the actual date of our project March 10th and because most of the people will be out buying flowers for their wives, mothers, girlfriends, grandmothers, aunts etc, so this is a great opportunity for us to promote the club. We were very creative and we spent our last meeting making paper flowers (photos bellow). Attached to those flowers will be notes saying that club GLOW Gevgelija wishes them happy 8th of March and of course flyers for our project! Besides, it's a market day in Gevgelija and we hope that we can let many people know about our project. We also wrote an article for Macedonian famous websites and they are going to publish it soon. We are very happy that so far we've got only positive feedback and hope that from 10 am to 8 pm will be enough time for the citizens of Gevgelija to bring an old already read book to the library and exchange it with another one!

We also want to mention that the money we won from the contest were used for buying color paper, glue and other materials needed for this project. Having no other financial resources, the prize for winning the contest was very well welcomed and we want to thank GLOW Macedonia for that!
