Community Awareness post!
Katrin Piirimaa is a University student from Europe doing her summer exchange program here in Wahpeton!

She has completed the necessary paperwork and obtained permits from the city to go door-to-door selling books to help families with education. She does not represent, nor is she affiliated with, any school. This is a summer program to help her pay her way through college.

If she knocks on your door, please know she is fully permitted. If you are not interested she will simply thank you for your time and move on.

Her Facebook link is Bookgirl Katrin
