Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,

129 volunteers are still needed for the June 9th Reading Clubs!  With many of our college readers out of town for the summer, we need more volunteers to join us at the reading clubs!  While we are in need of volunteers everywhere, we are in particular need of returning volunteers at White.  If you haven't signed up already, click here to submit your RSVP for these "Role Models" themed clubs.  And make sure to bring a friend!  

Also, if your company has a newsletter, website, or mailing list where you can inform people about Reading to Kids, please let us know and we'll send you the information you need to post this volunteer opportunity.

BOOK DRIVE AT THE VAKSBERG SALON

A local business is doing big things to help Reading to Kids!  Salon owner Irene Vaksberg has a history of supporting charitable causes, and she is teaming up with Reading to Kids for a month long book drive at her salon! 

From June 5th to July 6th, she will offer a complimentary haircut ($75 value) OR conditioning treatment to anyone who brings in 3 or more new children's books for Reading to Kids.  The Vaksberg Salon is located within LaPeer Beauty at 8950 West Olympic Blvd.  For an appointment, call (310) 993-8600.  

This is the second book drive Irene Vaksberg has held for Reading to Kids.  In 2005, she collected nearly 400 books in a similar effort.

If you are looking for an excuse to get a new do, give Irene a call!  If you go to the salon, make sure to say thanks!
