With only
one month before the National Dealer Meeting in St. Louis, Chris Hunter,
NDAB President, asked his fellow Kubota dealers to bring with them one
new or used book. These books were to be donated to the East St. Louis
(ESL) Library. Hunter learned that only
a short distance from where this years meeting would be held was
the community of East St. Louis, IL, a striving community with only one
library and no resources to fund or fill its shelves.
With
960 dealers in attendance, Kubota dealers donated a whopping 1,355 books
to
the library. Some dealers brought 4 or 5 books. "Words cannot describe
the generosity and kindness that Kubota dealers, complete
strangers to our community, have shown us.
The people of ESL, my staff and myself are
truly grateful for your donations", said Cynthia Jones, ESL head
Librarian.
