[CALIBK12] Book Fair Money

[Blair Carroll]

Have you thought of running the book fair through the PTA or Booster club?
Because of the cut that ASB takes (though they have agreed not to this year)
the parents groups have offered to be the official organization if
necessary. Another way to go may be to get a letter from your Scholastic rep
explaining that they do not ask you to take inventory in that way. Good
luck!
