Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,
In just two days we will be exploring the "Wonders of Science
& Technology" at our reading clubs! If you are not
signed up with us already,
sign up today, then join our
November 14th Facebook Event.
If you
signed up but cannot join us after all, be sure to
cancel online to open your spot for someone else. The deadline for canceling is 3pm tomorrow.
November is
also our College Spirit month, so be sure to
wear your college's logo. The competition is on to see
which college has the most volunteers representing their alma
mater at this Saturday's reading clubs!
Thanks to the generosity of our volunteers and several colleges,
every child at the reading clubs this Saturday will receive an item with a college logo - part of our efforts to nurture early college
interest.
