5 MORE COMPUTERS OR TABLETS WANTED
TO GIVE TO KIDS!
At our August reading clubs we would love to give away a computer or iPad/tablet to one lucky kid at each school.
If you or your employer have any working computers that are less than 6 years old running Windows 8 or later, or any Macintosh computers less than 7 years old, or any iPads or similar tablets, we can give them to deserving kids!
We especially need working computers (CPUs), whether or not they come with monitors, keyboards, etc. Please email us at
info@readingtokids.org to help make a kid very happy!

REMEMBERING RICHARD SIMMONS
AT OUR 2013 LEGENDARY BINGO NIGHT
We were saddened to learn of fitness guru Richard Simmons passing away last weekend.
While he inspired millions around the world to improve their lives, we also very fondly recall when he brightened our May 15, 2013 Legendary Bingo night in West Hollywood!
The photo above was taken by our long-time volunteer Chris Martin as Richard hopped onto the stage to lead our bingo players in a rousing mini-workout!
Click here for Chris' video he filmed that night, and click here to see a video from a different angle provided by another attendee that evening.
That was an especially memorable and joyful evening for our volunteers playing bingo, and our best thoughts and shared memories go out to all who knew Richard and the impact he had on others!
