Holiday shopping for gifts? BIG offers you an easy solution

Thursday, December 1, 2022

By: Gene Deems

It's time to start your Holiday Gift Shopping! Everyone likes books, or should, and Parole Rotary Club's Books for International Goodwill is having a sale on this Saturday, December 3, from 8 am to 2 pm. We have books of all types for children, teens and avid book lovers. There are even books on the US presidency in general or concerning more than one president, books on the White House and life there, and, by chronology, books, including many memoirs, on individual presidents and First Ladies. No book is more than $5. And your purchase helps support the distribution of books to those in under resourced countries. You'll be #makingadifference in so many ways.

Tuesday Morning Breakfast meetings

We meet at 7:30 am on most Tuesday mornings at the Double Tree Hotel in Annapolis, Maryland. You are welcome to come and join us for an informative breakfast meeting with inspiring guest speakers.

We help park cars

We “park cars” during Navy home football games. We direct traffic to ensure the safety and organized and efficient parking of cars. The money we raise from this effort gives us funds to donate to nonprofits in our community. In 2022, we donated $50,000 to twenty-one nonprofits who are #makingadifference.

We love books!

BIG (Books for International Goodwill) was originally created by the Parole Rotary Club of Annapolis and still receives our support today. The hunger for books staggers the imagination. We want to provide the inspiration to all in our local communities to underserved communities around the world.

Pantry, Environment and More

Our club has many activities from participating in pantries, to watering plants and helping others recycle on Earth Day. Bring your passion to our club and join us in one or more of our volunteer activities.
