2008 Books for the World

The CNY/WNY Books for the world (CNY BFTW) project was conceived by Skaneateles Rotarian, Ward, in 2008 as a result of his Rotary related trips to S. Africa & other 3rd world counties. He leveraged a larger scope project initiated by fellow Rotarian in Texas that ships books to S. Africa and beyond. The CNY/WNY BFTW has gleaned and shipped more than 40 sea-containers of text and children's book to nearly 25 Rotarian managed BFTW distribution centers around the world. PDG Pete Cardamone is the current project chair with SRC member, Gary Ozminkowski the current Operation Mgr. of the on-going projected.
