Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,

Our Halloween, Magic, and Monsters reading clubs are just two weeks away, and we need your help to make sure we have enough volunteers!

We need 158 more volunteers to read aloud spooky and fun stories to an expected 1,200 plus kids eager to see the magicians performing on October 14th!

You can visit our website now and sign up, then also join our October 14th Facebook event to spread the word to your friends!

At the October 14th reading clubs, feel free to wear fun, school-appropriate Halloween costumes!

If you're signed up for the October 14th reading clubs but know you can't make it after all, please be sure to cancel your RSVP as soon as you can.
