Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,
Sign up today to read to miniature "mad scientists" at our "Wonders of Science
and Technology" reading clubs on
November 8th. We
need 343 more volunteers to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.
After you
sign up, join our
November 8th Facebook Event.
November 8th is also College Spirit Day. Represent your alma mater
by wearing your school gear! By sporting your college logo at the reading clubs, you will expose students to the possibilities of attaining a college education from an early age.
