Pictured are Chuck Williams and Roberta Williams (the Williams twins) who packed collage textbooks, gleaned by Ward from the U. of Binghamton. They are standing next to a pallet of Primary and Middle school library books gleaned for the Skaneateles Middle and State Street Schools, which were packed by Bill Conole and Ward late last week. Included are comprehensive primary school tests booklets, from Michigan, supplied by Chuck Williams. Kudos also go to the other Rotarians (Bill C., John M., Robin J., Bill S.) who volunteered to assist Monday, but were not needed.
