Book Swap |
|
As a service for our club members we operate a book swap at each
General Meeting.
Simply bring any books or magazines that you don't want any more and
drop them off at the table before the meeting. Children's books are welcome
too.
Any member can take home any books or magazines from the table at any
time. We do ask that the books eventually make their way back to the
book swap for the enjoyment of other members.

| Costco |
|
Costco is a membership warehouse specialising in providing bulk quantities
at lower prices. Merchandise includes fresh meat and bakery (I'm told
the meat is particularly good), American products (like Skippy peanut
butter and Ziplock baggies), chilled frozen foods, optical (considerably
less than high street prices), photo processing, toys, software and office
products, wines/beer/spirits, clothing, and electrical goods. Payment at Costco is by cash or debit card only.
TVAWC offers you the opportunity to upgrade to a trade membership. The
greatest benefit of a trade membership is earlier shopping hours (10 AM
vs. noon) and for a single membership, it is less expensive. NOTE:
Costco cards are good around the world so if you already have a
membership you may want to hold on a TVAWC trade membership until yours
expires.
E-mail costco@tvawc.com
for more information.
