Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,
Our
Halloween, Magic, & Monsters reading clubs are this Saturday, and we
need your help finding enough
volunteers, especially at
Gratts and
Magnolia!
We still need 34 more volunteers to read to an expected
1,200 plus kids eager to see the
magicians we'll have performing this Saturday!
If you haven't already, please join our
October 13th Facebook Event and help spread the word by inviting friends to join you!
After you join, be sure to go to our website and
sign up with us.
WAYS TO HELP THIS SATURDAY
If you signed up for the reading clubs but can't join us,
please

5 MORE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR CROSSWORDS LA
NEXT SUN., OCT. 21
Want to help out Reading to Kids an additional Sunday this month?
Crosswords LA is holding a crossword puzzle tournament next Sunday, October 21st, with proceeds benefiting Reading to Kids!
This year the tournament will be held on the
University of Southern California campus in the Hoffman Hall basement (see their directions page for details) – and
Crosswords LA needs 5 more volunteers to help!
If you can volunteer with them for either the full day or a half day, please email us today at
info@readingtokids.org. Full day volunteers (8:30am – 4:45pm) get a
free lunch!
Our volunteers will set up portions of the event, greet and sign in contestants, and collect puzzle papers. It's a lot of fun volunteering with them!
This is a great opportunity to volunteer for
Reading to Kids an additional Sunday in the month!
Who better than our volunteers to help
Crosswords LA run such a great fundraiser for
Reading to
Kids?!

You can
share this Facebook group with any of your runner
friends to encourage them to join our team!

becoming one of our fundraising runners or
creating a fundraising team, please email
