Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,
HELP! 135 MORE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
FOR NOV. 12 TH IN-PERSON CLUBS!
Now that our Halloween costumes are put away, it's time to look forward to our November 12th reading clubs in-person on our partner school campuses - and we need 135 more readers to join us!
Volunteers for our reading clubs must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and wear a mask while indoors on campus for the reading clubs. The kids will also be required to wear masks while indoors.
Here are 5 super-helpful things you can do right now!
- If you haven't already, please visit our
website now and sign up.
-
Publish to your Facebook feed and share with your friends our
November 12th Facebook Event to encourage them to volunteer!
-
Whether or not you can volunteer on the 12th,
Tweet @readingtokids, post, and message your
friends and followers. Here's a sample
post you can use:
"My
favorite volunteer organization, Reading to Kids, needs more volunteers for their
November 12th reading clubs. The theme is "Seasons & the Natural World", and every participant will wear masks while indoors. 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, November 12th, near downtown LA
- Volunteers must sign up online by 3pm on Friday, Nov. 11th, 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!
November is our college spirit month,
when we count the college logos volunteers wear that morning to see which college shows the most spirit. Will you recruit the most volunteers from your school and win the competition?

11 RUNNERS NEEDED FOR THE
2023 LA MARATHON,
13.1 MILE CHARITY CHALLENGE,
OR 5K!
Do you know any runners? Are you a
runner? Please forward this email to them
and ask them to join
Team Reading to Kids in the 2023 Los
Angeles Marathon on Sunday,
March 19th!
This is our 9th time running the marathon, and we're looking for at least four more marathon runners and seven Charity Challenge runners (the last 13.1 miles of the course) to join us in one of the best marathons in the country.
If either of those distances is too daunting, you can join us in the LA Big 5K (that's just 3.1 miles) near Dodger Stadium the day before the marathon on Saturday, March 18, 2023.
You can
share this Facebook group with any of your runner
friends to encourage them to join our team!
If you or a runner you know is interested in
becoming one of our fundraising runners or
creating a fundraising team, please email
Chris Martin at
marathon@readingtokids.org!
IMPORTANT NOTE: To register to run
on behalf of Reading to Kids, you
MUST receive from us a special web address
to use when registering on the Los Angeles Marathon website.
