Dear Friends,
It is that time of year again, where we set out to raise
money for Reading to Kids. As always, we turn to you, our dedicated
volunteers and supporters, to help in the effort -- not just in soliciting
donations, but also with your own financial support.
In the wake of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, it may be
easy for some to feel tapped out both financially and emotionally. However,
it's important in these times to remember the needs that exist in our own
backyard. It's also important to remember that it's very easy to help -- for
the price of two Starbucks coffees, a movie ticket, or a couple of tins of
Altoids, you can help us inspire kids with a love of reading.
Of course, we are extremely
grateful for all that you already do! Our volunteer readers are
our greatest and most valuable asset, and we appreciate the hours that you
give us every month. But if you can spare $5, $10 or even a little more,
you can help ensure that we'll be here for the long haul, helping kids grab
a better hold of their futures. We would not have made it over the last six
years without your support and loyalty. And we look forward to working
with you to build a brighter future for the children, families, and schools
we serve.You are so valuable to
us as volunteers, and we would be honored to count you among our donors as
well. Please consider participating in our Annual Fund Drive and helping
this organization grow.

Please remember that no donation is too small to make a difference, so
please give what you can.
Thank you, and we hope to see you at the reading
clubs this weekend. To sign up to read this Saturday, please

Warmest Regards and Appreciation,
