The Pearl Beach Summer Book Sale on Thursday, December 28, was a resounding success, with almost $2,500 raised towards the upkeep of Pearl Beach Memorial Hall.
Co-ordinator Alison Phillips said there was a crowd gathered outside awaiting the 9am start.
“They eagerly made their way to the numerous tables covered in good quality fiction books, biography books, DVDs and puzzles,” she said.
“A steady flow of book-loving people continued to arrive throughout the four hours of the sale making it the most profitable Summer sale to date.
“The amount raised was $2,456 which will go towards the upkeep and maintenance of the Memorial Hall.
“Thank you to all those who helped or supported the event.”
