[Vision2020] Lookin' to Donate . . .

[Donovan Arnold]

I would never throw away a book. With the possible exception of the Jehovah's Witness book or pamphlet, I cannot stand those, I donate or recycle all books to nonprofits.

I have done just that several times already, Mr. Rumelhart.  However, during some late night "clearings", in an office that can only be described as a cluster-f*ck, and wanting to clean things up in a fashion as expedient and efficient as possible, I find myself tossing 3-pointers (a basketball reference) from my doorstep to the dumpster in the parking lot (nothing but net).

However, during the day when I am less flustered and more appropriately attired I have made the donations you suggest many times (with many more times to come . . . telephone books).

This is a 14" x 14" pictorial-intensive hard-bound compilation filled with photos and discussion of gigs from . . . 

Robert Johnson
Three Forks, Greenwood, Mississippi (July 1938)

to . . .

The Moondog Coronation
The Cleveland Arena, Clevelan, Ohio (March 1952)

to . . .

Buddy Holly
The Surf Ballroom, Clear Lake, Iowa (February 1959)

to . . .

The Who
The Marquee, London, England (November 1964 - April 1965)

to . . .

Frank Sinatra
The Sands, Las Vegas, Nevada (1966) 

to . . .

Johnny Cash
Folsom State Prison, Folsom, California (January 1968)

And so on and so on and so on and . . . up to . . .

Brian Wilson
Festival Hall, London, England (February 2004)

The reason I post this here is that we are looking for an entity that would appreciate its donation.  We have already donated, and will continue to donate, items to the library (more historical books are coming) , the 1912 center (we
 have a photo [photos, not postcards] album created by a UI student  in the mid- to late-30s forthcoming), Salvation Army (more "good" to "excellent" condition furniture forthcoming), and other local entities.

Is anybody aware of, and can recommend, a local entity that would appreciate this book?
