Sample Post:
My favorite volunteer organization, Reading to Kids,
needs more volunteers for their October 8th reading
clubs this Saturday. The theme is "Halloween, Magic, and
Monsters", and we'll have a magician performing for the
kids. Join me at ### Elementary School for a fantastic
morning of reading to elementary school kids near
downtown LA. To join me, sign up online today at
www.readingtokids.org.
If you have people in mind who you think would really
like to read with us, tag them in your post. It will
alert them to the reading clubs and show up in their
friends' news feeds.
-
Use our handy
email template (in PDF) to
encourage people you know to sign up to read with us!
-
Print out this flyer and post it in
heavily populated locations such as coffee shops, the
gym, your office or other various community centers.
Make it a personal and fun social event by including the
school at which you'll be reading or encouraging them to
read at
Los Angeles,
Magnolia,
Politi, and White
Elementary!
At these Oct. 8th reading clubs, feel free to wear
fun, school-appropriate
Halloween costumes, too!
If you're
signed up for the Oct. 8th reading clubs but know you can't
make it after all, please be sure to
cancel your RSVP as soon as you can.
