A Message from the Founders
Saturday, September 8 was a great day for Reading to Kids. 131 volunteers read to 383 children at our two schools; we celebrated our 1000th new volunteer that day; and we even got mentioned in the Spanish language newspaper, La Opinion, along with a picture of some of the kids! In fact, with September set as the month for our annual fundraiser, we were about to email all of our subscribers asking for help for the coming year (anticipating, of course, a very enthusiastic response).

Then came Tuesday, September 11, and our plans and the plans of a nation changed.

There are over 600 people on this email list. Over 1000 people have volunteered with us since this program began in May 1999. We were all affected by the events of two weeks ago, but for some of us, the impact may have been far more direct and personal. For those of you who did suffer losses, our deepest sympathies go out to you and your loved ones... Click for more...
