Books For Troops, Inc.

Books for Troops is no longer looking for a director and will no longer accept donations of funds or books. We have just found out on Oct, 3 that the building where we housed has been sold and we have to evacuate in two weeks. Plans for a book sale are tentative because of Covid. There is no further information available at this time. Thank you for your support in the last ten years. We are devastated by the news. Even though we were looking for a new director, I planned to continue on as Executive Director. We have had more than 10 successful years and I am grateful to all of you who have kept us alive through your support, and donations of books and postage. The real losers in this is the troops. I feel such sadness that we cannot be there for them any longer. Thank you again for your support. Ellen Keegan

Books for Troops in the past year has received a significant amount of money in cash, donated anonymously. I would like to thank that person for his recent donation. He also has concerns about the integrity of the director and of Books for Troops. If he would like specific information about the use of our funds, please send me a letter with your name and address so that I can respond to your concerns. It is unfair to accuse and not be able to defend oneself. Please do so by e-mail or letter since I am not that familiar with facebook. My address is 152 Oak Brook Commons, Clifton Park, NY 12065 or e-mail: [email protected]

Books for Troops e-mail address is: [email protected]. It is the e-mail address that has been used since the program began, Two days ago a typo gave the wrong address. [email protected] is e-mail address that is given in all media reports and on our website, www.booksfortroopscp,webs.com. Please note. Ellen Keegan

Since the pandemic, Books for Troops is only accepting books at the office., 688 rte. 9 in Latham, 200 ft. North of Bella Napoli Bakery in the Vintage pizza mini-mall, left off tr. 9. There are no bins at Halfmoon Town Hall or Clifton Park Town Hall. There are now 3 bins in front of Books for Troops office. It will remain like this until the pandemic ends. While we continue to receive hundreds of books, our science fiction, fantasy,& military fiction shelves are almost empty. In addition we are always in the need of history and biography. These are the most popular of genre requested by the troops. If you have any of the above, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you as always for your support.

Recently a man within the past week donated a full rubbermaid container full of comics. Thank you so much for your extremely generous donation that will put a smile on many faces. If you would like a tax receipt for them, please send me your name, address and the approximate value of your comics and I will send you a tax receipt. I know comics are valuable and expensive, You have made hundreds of troops happy, They will be sent a box a piece if requested of about 80-100 comics sent to the requesting person and then to be share with others. Thank you so much for thinking of us. Ellen Keegan Direcor
