Holiday Gift Wrapping Benefits Aquarius Aquarium Institute

Institute Holiday Gift Wrappers
Institute volunteers Sue Pierce and and Jeanie Kowalczyk (above) are wrapping holiday purchases at Barnes & Noble in Fresno, with tips from grateful shoppers benefiting our current nonprofit 501(c)(3) programs as well as our Fresno Aquarium project. Our Board Chair, Aletha Lang, took the opportunity last Sunday to chat with shoppers about our continuing progress.

Both Sue and Jeanie were members of a club that worked to support a local hospital, but when the hospital discontinued that club, they approached the Institute about volunteering their talents for our cause!

We hope you will come to Barnes & Noble when our volunteers are working next:

  • Monday, December 10th from 2 – 6 pm
  • Tuesday, December 11th from 9 am to 2 pm and 6 – 10 pm
  • Tuesdsay, December 18th from 9 am to 2 pm
  • Friday, December 21st from 9 am to 2 pm

And please be a generous tipper!
