Wow - what a great Friday!

Yesterday over the lunch hour the TD Canada Trust branch at 201 Portage Avenue held a used book sale in support of the Manitoba Children’s Museum - in particular to raise funds for next year’s I Love to Read Month activities which are sure to be even better than this past year thanks to their efforts!

So…how did things go at the frontline?

MCM’s Director of Development Janet McLeod was at the sale and managed to capture a few photos of the action, while TD’s Amanda Marsch reported that people “LOVED the idea of the book sale and are already asking when the next one will be” - so much so, that they’ve decided this will become an ongoing customer connection event for their branch!

If you’re a TD Financial Group customer, a Winnipeg Square shopper, or simply a book fan, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for a future sales event which Amanda reports will likely happen within the next two months. In the meantime, feel free to donate your gently-used books to the TD Canada Trust branch at 201 Portage Avenue.

This first book sale raised almost $500 for the Manitoba Children’s Museum - and at $1/each, you can bet all of those hundreds of books will provide great new experiences in the hands of their new owners!!!

Thanks again to all the TD Canada Trust staff who helped make this event a great success!

February’s I Love to Read Month Activities are sponsored by the TD Financial Group.
