This Thanksgiving and Hanukkah, we are thankful for the thousands of volunteers, teachers, administrators, principals, donors, and funders who have helped us through the years to inspire a love of reading in the children we serve. We couldn't do it without you, and we hope you have a delicious Thanksgiving and wonderful Hanukkah!

December is one of our biggest months, and the December 14th Reading Clubs are just over two short weeks away! We still need 240 more volunteers, so please start recruiting as many, friends, co-workers, etc. as you can. 

Don't forget to join our December 14th Facebook Event so your friends will see that on your wall. Then go to our website and sign up with us.

Please tweet, post to Facebook, and email your friends, letting them know that we still need more volunteers.

You can also help us by printing out this flyer and posting it at your work, school, church, synagogue, mosque, or favorite community bulletin board. Please also use this easy email template.
