Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,
Our October reading clubs are traditionally our largest of the year, so we'll need your help to recruit 344 more volunteers over the next
two weeks!
If you haven't already, please join our October 8th Facebook event. It really helps us when you do because your friends can see you're attending the reading clubs. Help us spread the word by inviting them to join!
After you join, don't forget to go to our website and
sign up with us.
It would also be a huge help if you
printed out this flyer and posted it
at your work or favorite community bulletin board. Please also use our convenient email template (in PDF) to recruit volunteers!
You are our super recruiters who make great reading clubs happen!

BRING YOUR GROUP TO READING TO KIDS
Would your co-workers love to join you at the reading clubs? Is your campus group looking for a fun volunteer opportunity? Does your alumni organization need an event to attend together? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, it is time to sign them up for
Reading to Kids!
Reading to Kids Volunteer Groups recruit volunteers for the reading clubs. In addition to a fantastic volunteer experience, groups who regularly recruit and bring volunteers are thanked on our website as "Friends & Supporters."
For example,
we had 101 members of
Junior League of Los Angeles join us on September 10th. 14 members of
JHRTS and 11 members of
Stanford Alumni CSC also joined us at Los Angeles and Esperanza, respectively.
If you have a connection with a business, alumni association, campus group, or other organization whose members might enjoy volunteering with
Reading to Kids, start recruiting now!
To sign
up your group with Reading to Kids, e-mail us at info@readingtokids.org or call (310) 479-7455, and we'll get your group started!
