Westminster Presbyterian's 60th annual used book sale starts Wednesday

BOARDMAN

Proceeds from the annual used book sale at Westminster Presbyterian Church benefit a range of charitable organizations.

“Helping people makes it worthwhile,” said Sue Maraffa, a church member since 1986 and sale volunteer since 1988.

Last year, the sale made “just shy of $20,000,” said Jan Pickens, sale coordinator. “We thought when we hit $11,000 it was great, then it went up to $15,000.”

Pickens said profits fluctuate from year to year.

She's hoping for an outstanding financial result from the 60th annual event set Wednesday through Friday at the church, 119 Stadium Drive.

Because all the books are donated, the event is profitable though it does incur some expenses including rental of 36 tables.

The Women’s Association of the church sponsors the popular fundraiser.
