Our February 8th Reading Clubs are just over two weeks away, and we need you to
sign up and help celebrate a morning of "Friendship and Family"!
We still need more than 200 additional volunteers for the 8th, so please take a moment to join
our February 8th Facebook Event. Your friends will see that you're attending the reading clubs, and you can help spread the word by inviting them to join, too.
After you join, be sure to go to our website and
sign up with us.

RUN THE ASICS LA MARATHON
WITH
READING TO KIDS -
SIGN UP DEADLINE JANUARY 31ST!
Do you have friends on Facebook who post about their latest running achievements or goals? Encourage them to join
Team
Reading to Kids in the 2014 ASICS LA Marathon!
They can be a part of the inaugural group to run for
Reading to Kids in one of the best marathons in the country.
They can run either the full marathon or a half-marathon,
and the dollars they raise will go to support our monthly reading clubs. Our runners have even started to train together.
If you or a runner you know is interested in becoming one of our fundraising runners or creating a fundraising team,
before the January 31st deadline please email Chris Martin at
marathon
readingtokids.org for all the details.
IMPORTANT NOTE: to register to run on behalf of
Reading to Kids, you MUST receive a special code BEFORE registering on the ASICS LA Marathon website by the January 31st deadline.

CALLING ALL MUSICIANS!
Every March,
musicians visit each school and perform for the kids. We have had a variety of performers from country singers to Korean drumming
troupes to marching bands and electric violin players!
If you or someone you know would like to share the gift of music with the kids and volunteers
at our March 8th Reading Clubs, please email us at inforeadingtokids.org.

PRIZE PATROL
We've started planning this year's fundraising events, and we need your help gathering prizes!
Our events are more fun and raise more money if we have
great prizes to award, raffle, and/or auction. Big prizes. Little prizes. Serious prizes. Silly prizes. We need them all! Check out our list of prizes from
last year's Silent Auction for ideas.
If you have any prizes, or you know where to get them, let us
know! We'd love to have something fabulous for the Silent Auction or for our grand prize Bingo winner -- anything unique or with an
autograph is always welcome!
To help you get started, click these links for
tips on how to best approach a business or person to donate to our events, and a
donation form for the donor to complete.
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
events.
Please also let us know to whom you reach out
so we don't accidentally duplicate
Special Events Committee
efforts in contacting businesses.

Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you at our February 8th Reading Clubs!
