Pavi,

What if we have credits to donate but do not know of a specific member who 
needs them?  Will Bookshare find a member?  Or is this not permmitted?  I 
wrote to you privately about this but you did not answer me.

Hi Susan -



Thanks for bringing these questions up. I'm glad to be able to address them 
here on the list.



Volunteers of Bookshare with earned credits are eligible to donate their 
credits. At this time, Bookshare will handle credit donations manually, on a 
case by case basis.  A volunteer wishing to donate his/her credits to a 
Bookshare member or would-be member, may send an email to the Volunteer 
Coordinator, with the amount they wish to donate, the name of the person/s 
they wish to donate to, and their reason for wanting to make the donation. 
These donation requests upon approval will then be carried out by the 
membership division, and a notification will be sent by the  Volunteer 
Coordinator to the contributing volunteer.



As time goes on we will modify the process and/or implement any additional 
measures or conditions necessary to ensure that the system of donating 
credits remains feasible for the organization. We are glad to be able to 
support this kind of generosity among our volunteer community and are, as 
always, grateful for the work you do, and the dedication with which you do 
it.



All good things,

Pavi
