New Member from Seattle 
Please welcome Maxfield Shea from Seattle, Washington, USA.  He collects bookmarks distributed to supplement the 1972-1977 Children's Book Showcases hosted by the Children's Book Council (CBC) and would like to swap bookmarks from the `1960s-1970s.  The CBC is celebrating the 100th anniversary  of Children's Book Week in 2019 and will celebrate with many activities including original bookmarks created by Selina Alko & Sean Qualls, Vera Brosgol, Jason Chin, Ekua Holmes, Juana Medina, and Jessie Sima. 14 December 2018

10 Things You Can Do If You Win the Woboda Raffle
Two Now that the Woboda raffle is so large (almost 1,100 bookmarks), you may wonder what you would do with so many bookmarks so here are some suggestions:
1. Add the ones you like to your collection, of course!
2. Use some to swap with others on our Swap page.  You will probably find many that match the interests of other collectors.
3. Give some as gifts (or stocking stuffers for the holidays) to friends and family who like to read.
4. Use them as gift tags: if the back is blank, you can add a To/From or greeting message.
5. Give some to your local library to give away.  Perhaps there will be some that would appeal to children, especially. 
6. Give some to your local used book store.  They can give them away to customers. 
7. Make a display for your local library to show the variety of bookmarks around the world. 
8. Include one with greeting cards you send for birthdays, holidays, other occasions. 
9. Make an advent calendar with a surprise bookmark revealed each day.  The idea of the advent calendar can be used as a countdown for other events, if you do not celebrate Christmas.
10. Turn them into art: frame bookmarks with a theme or interesting graphics, or make a collage.  

What are your ideas?  And remember, you have a very good chance of winning the raffle with only three participants so far.  Due to the formula used, the winner is not just the person with the most tickets.  Enter now! 10 December 2018

More New Members 
Two more members join our group from the USA:  David Friedman, a bookseller from Santa Cruz, California, would also like to swap bookmarks from bookstores.  Jeffrey Edel from Bryson City, North Carolina, makes wooden bookmarks and was featured in a recent blog post on Magic Reading Wands.  Welcome to both of these new members!  7 December 2018

 3 Things You Can Do With Woboda Bookmarks
After you download and print the designs for World Bookmark Day, here are 3 things you can do with them:
1.  Leave bookmarks at a Little Free Library near you.  
​2. Send one of them with birthday, Christmas or other greeting cards to friends and relatives.
3. Ask your local used bookstore if they would like copies to distribute.  And ask them if they find bookmarks left behind in donated or acquired books.  Maybe they will give you a few.

🎁🎁🎁   WINNER OF THE WORLD BOOKMARK DAY RAFFLE OF 705 BOOKMARKS   🎁🎁🎁
Congratulations to Regina Maciulyte from Lithuania who won the raffle--amazingly for the second year in a row!  It is not possible to game the system because the lucky numbers of entrants are not published until the end of the raffle and this number is key to the formula that determines the winner. We double checked to make sure the formula was applied correctly.  So Regina is just a very lucky person--Congratulations!!!  Our second place winner is Debrah Gai Lewis from Australia--congratulations to Debrah!  And many thanks to all raffle participants for their generosity.
