I am so sorry for cancelling on saturday and for the very short notice. I was in the ER with my fiancee until 3am, and he is home on painmeds as I write, so I could not open my house to the group. I am rescheduling the meetup and again I apologize for the inconvenience.
Announcing a new event for The Brooklyn Book-Swap Meetup Group!
What: Book-swap #5 resceduled
When: Saturday, December 9, 3:00 PM
Where: Click the link below to find out!
Event Description: This will be our fifth book swap meetup! We will be meeting to exchange books, eat snacks and get to know each other.
SPECIAL!!!: For the holidays, instead of there being an event fee, we are going to participate in the meet-up food drive. Please bring canned/dried goods to donate to this meetup. The food goods will be going to City Harvest.
Info on city harvest canned good food drives
Most wanted foods:
?Infant formula and baby food
?Pasta, rice, whole grain cereal
?Canned vegetables (like kale, spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes)
?Canned fruit (like peaches, pears, pineapple)
?Canned beans (like black, garbanzo, pinto, navy, lima)
?Canned protein foods (like tuna, salmon, chicken, beef)
?Canned/carton long shelf life milk products
PS: No glass please, except for baby food!
Book Exchange: Please bring as many books as you have/as many books as you want to exchange. When we exchange the books, we first do a little intro to the books (what we thought of them, a little plot info, etc. Basically, just to tell the group about the book. . .this normally leads into many different discussions of other books, which is a lot of the fun!). The way we exchange the books is we basically purchase them. For each soft cover book, you get one token and for each hardcover, you get two, and then you purchase books back from the general pile for the same prices.
Food: So that we have plenty to eat, we do a pot luck. So, all you need to do is bring some item of food. It does NOT have to be home made, so no pressure. But, please try and bring something, so that the pressure to feed everyone is not all on the person hosting the meetup.
Dues: Because being the organizer does have monthly fees attached to it, I will be collecting $1.00 from each person at each meetup. If this is a problem, please talk to me/e-mail me.
My apartment is in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. It is actually a quick trip from Manhattan. The best way to get here to to take the A/C to Jay St/Borrough Hall and transfer to the F (by walking across the platform). Take the F two stops to Carroll St. When you get out of the station, walk with traffic on Smith Street for a couple of blocks until you reach DeGraw St. Make a left. I am 324 Degraw. Walk up the steps and hit the top buzzer.
You can also take the G train to Carroll Street station. If you need to take another train or would like driving directions, I am more than happy to provide them. Please just e-mail me and I will send them back to you, plus I will post them on the website for other people. I just don't want to crowd these notes with directions at this point.
