On October 15th, The Library Project held their 2nd Annual Charity Poker Fundraiser in Dalian, China.

This year’s event was a complete success. 5,500 CNY was raised, 33 players joined, and there was four hours of non-stop poker playing.

I’m like to extend a HUGE thank you to Todd, Heidi, Linlin and Adam for all of the planning and organizing that went into this event. Another HUGE thank you to all of our prize donors that helped to make this event such a success: Brooklyn Bar, Riviera, JDs Bar and Restaurant, AK-47 (metal band), Wangen (rock band), Curtis Holden for the bottle of whiskey, Henry Hsieh of the Netherlands Business Support Office, and another thank you from Todd, Heidi, Linlin and Adam for donating additional prizes. And a final HUGE thank you to the Brooklyn Bar for hosting the event.

Over the past two years PFW have been huge supports of The Library Project. They have donated three libraries and will also donate another two libraries in 2010. What makes PFW such a special donor is how their employees get involved. Their employees most recently conducted a book, educational toy and school supply collection campaign at their factory in Yanliang, China. PFW then donated the items to The Library Project at their annual Chinese New Year Party. Below are some great photos of the PFW team, the items they donated and the party.

These donated items will go into rural elementary schools in Lantian County in the Shaanxi Province. Thank you PFW!

The Peninsula Beijing just completed a book collection to support The Library Project. They collected 150 hi-quality Chinese language children’s books through a “Children’s Party” for their employee’s children. They collected a wide range of children’s books that included: history, science, short stories, fairy tales, books for very young readers, children’s reference books, and an assortment of comic books.

These books will go into a school located in the Shaanxi Province in the coming months. We will be complimenting their donation of used books with new books. Book collections like these really help us keep our costs down, but also get more books into the hands of eager young readers. We’ll keep you posted as to the progress of their books finding a new home.

The Peninsula Beijing learned about The Library Project through a book collection conducted by ClarkMorgan at one of their recent free “demo” courses.

ClarkMorgan Corporate Training has announced that they will be supporting The Library Project by collecting children’s books at each of its training demonstrations.

In the first event of this type in Shanghai, the ClarkMorgan team collected 68 books. They plan to raise as many as 3,000 books a year, to assist The Library Project.

On 14 September 2009, ClarkMorgan Corporate Training will hold a book collection in Beijing, China at their upcoming demo course titled “Powerful Presentation”.

“Morry Morgan and the entire ClarkMorgan team are really making a huge difference through their book collections at their training demonstration courses.
