The National D-Day Memorial: Massive Book Sale Fundraiser

April 5, 2021 by mmrice

This past week at the National D-Day Memorial our biggest task was to help prepare and carry out a large book sale. The sale included hundreds of books that were donated to the Memorial by a long time donor and due to a need for more storage, the book sale was created. My part in helping prepare for the book sale was ensuring that each book was in its correct location (ex. D-Day, Axis Nations, Allied Nations, miscellaneous etc.) During the coming days of the book sale, I met many donors and board members, as well as interact with a handful of patrons who were seemingly just visiting to tour the Memorial but ended up purchasing a book or tow as well. All books were marked down and all funds went directly to the Memorial.
