Kappa Kappa Kappa sorority of Valparaiso is hosting its sixth annual Used Book Sale October 10-12. Tri Kappa is dedicated to the advancement of Charity, Culture and Education in our community. Money raised by the sorority throughout the year is used to fund these three causes.
The Tri Kappa Used Book Sale will be held once again at the National Guard Armory in Valparaiso, 1502 Linwood Avenue (south side of US 30) from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on October 10th and 11th; and from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 12th.
Tri Kappa members collect books all year to prepare for the sale. Members of the sorority receive wonderful support from Larry and Doug Klemz of Home Mountain Printing as they sort, store and move around 30,000 books.
Members of both Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson middle schools collect thousands of books to donate each year. This year, Justin Klemz and Valparaiso High School National Honor Society students will help unload books at the Armory.
The Used Book Sale is a major fundraiser of Tri Kappa sorority, but it has evolved into a collaborative project for the community as a whole. Members of Kappa Kappa Kappa would like to thank the Valparaiso community for continued support of the project. Proceeds from the used book sale are used to fund scholarships for high school seniors in Porter County and grants to non-profits in the Valparaiso area.
