Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,
SIGN UP & KEEP RECRUITING
FOR SEPT. 14TH READING CLUBS!
September is one of our biggest months, and the
September 14th reading clubs need 76 more volunteers - so please join us and help recruit them!
Here are 5 easy things you can do right now to help!
- If you haven't already, please visit our
website now and sign up.
-
"Join" our
September 14th Facebook event to let your friends know the fun you'll be up to that Saturday!
-
Whether or not you can volunteer on the 14th,
Tweet @readingtokids, post, and message your
friends and followers. Here's a sample
post you can use:
"My
favorite volunteer organization, Reading to Kids, is looking for more volunteers for their
September 14th reading clubs. The theme is "Back to School Fun", and every child will get a free book and a school supply that morning. 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 write your own
post, please be sure to include the following two
things:
- The reading clubs are Saturday morning, September 14th, near downtown LA
- Volunteers must sign up online by 3pm on Friday, Sept. 13th, 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.
-
Copy from our message template at
http://www.readingtokids.org/News/SampleVolRecruit.pdf
to encourage people you know to sign up to read with us!
-
Print out this flyer at
http://readingtokids.org/ProMaterials/VolunteerTearOffFlyer.pdf
and post it somewhere others will see it. Make it a
personal and fun social event by including the school at
which you'll be reading or encouraging them to read at your favorite of our eight partner schools!

We're looking for six more full marathon runners and six Charity Challenge runners (the last 13 miles of the course) to join us in one of the best marathons in the country.
