Choice Books is a nation- wide non-profit book distribu- tion company that Wall-Buhler said, “aims to put inspirational reading in the general market- place.” She said readers often discover that the authors are relatable and experiencing circumstances much like their own.“It’s just plain good read- ing,” she said.
Wall-Buhler said proceeds from this year’s fund raiser will go toward more book dis- plays across the state. Right now, Wall-Buhler said there are more requests for displays than Choice Books can pro-

vide. Each display costs about $2,500 to set up and stock. The west coast division of Choice Books currently has about 400 displays set up in stores and airports across California and Nevada, and many more on a waiting list.
Choice Books is nationally headquartered in Harrison- burg, VA and sells more than 5.1 million books annually. The organization is associated with Mennonite/Anabaptist churches in the United States.
The west coast office was opened in a small home in 1997 by three people. Today,
the west coast division oper- ates from an office on Reed Avenue and is run by 11 paid staff members and 30 volun- teers, including truck drivers.
In addition to local book displays, readers can find bargain books at the Reed- ley office. Each year, Choice Books also sets up a booth at the Fresno County Fair in Oc- tober where books are sold at a discounted price.
The Choice Books west coast fund raiser will take place on Thursday, Sept. 27 at 6:15 p.m. at the Wedgewood Banquet Center in Fresno.

"So, since its so early in the preseason they don't have their whole field show routine done yet so that's why we are doing that one song," said Jen- nifer. "We stand there with them and then it goes into the RHS part and we do the fight song, and then we march off."
The parent night halftime show was a success on social media as well, with more than four thousand views on the Exponents Facebook page as well plenty of comments and shares.
Callahan said the halftime performance was short be- cause the band is still working on their full routine.
Songs performed during the halftime show included Rebel Yell and the Reedley High School's fight song.
