Weekly Update
November 6, 2009

Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,

We've got spirit, yes we do!  We've got spirit, how about you?  The November Reading Clubs are the perfect opportunity to show your school spirit!  University alumni groups, college community service clubs, and sorority and fraternity houses are excited to volunteer and show their enthusiasm at the College Spirit Reading Clubs on November 14th. 

And of course, more than anything, they are excited to read great stories, such as Tangerine, the story of a young, gifted soccer player dealing with all the challenges of growing up in a new town.  Afterwards, the 5th graders will have fun creating personal journals and blind contour drawings.  Want to know more?  Learn about all of this month's books online!

We still need 170 readers, so be sure to SIGN UP today!  And don't forget to wear your college colors!
