I just made a 300 mile trip to Chicago to send about 700 pounds of books to several Peace Corps volunteers in Romania. That brings the total to 8000± pounds in the past 3 years.
I found Bucovina Restaurant and had a great plate of sarmalute.
I stayed for the Christmas party given by The Round Table Society, a non-profit group of (mostly) Romanian-born people, trying to make a difference.They generously presented me with the 'Round Table Society Bridging Communities Partnership Award' for my book project.
This actually adds to the 800 pounds I sent at the end of October.

Our mission is to send English language books to augment, and in some case initiate, libraries in schools in Romania to help the children build an expanded base from which to build their English language skills.
