Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,
Labor Day
is this weekend, and this year we follow it with another fun-filled Saturday of reading clubs! We still have 113 spaces left, and we need your help to fill them up!
Sign up today and join us as we explore "Faraway Places" at the September 8th Reading Clubs.

COMEDY NIGHT SILENT AUCTION ITEMS NEEDED
Our Comedy Night features a
Silent Auction, with all proceeds benefiting
Reading to Kids - and we can use more donated items!
In the past we have had gift certificates, products, services, and tickets to fun events. If you work at or have a connection with a restaurant, retail store, or for a company with products or services to offer, please help us by asking for a donation to our Silent Auction. We are always looking for fun, inventive items to include in our Silent Auction.
Please see
the Want to help? area of our brand new
Comedy Night and Silent Auction page for links to a donation letter, donation form, and
tips on how to best approach a business or person to donate to
our Silent Auction. We thank you in advance!
