But Wait – There’s More:

  • At the January dinner meeting, CCASTD is sponsoring a WLP Book Exchange.  This is a voluntary activity and could be an opportunity for you to get rid of a WLP book you’ve already read and pick up a book that helps you “sharpen your saw” as Covey would say.

To participate in the Book Exchange, please bring a previously owned (new is also acceptable) WLP-related book.  For each book you bring (up to 3), you will be able to select a (new to you) book to take home.  You will get one book for each book you bring in (up to 3).  Note: If you bring in more than three books, any remaining books will be raffled off at the end of the evening or at future CCASTD dinner meetings.
