Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,
We hope you all had a great Halloween! Now we've all had our
fill of costumes and candy, we are just days away from our
November 11th "Wonders of Science & Technology" reading
clubs! Please help us recruit the 114 more readers
we need that morning!
Start by
signing up today! Join our
November 11th Facebook Event and
share with your friends!
You can also
print out this flyer to post around town or use
this
template to email your friends and
co-workers.
November 11th is also College Spirit Day,
so be sure to rep your college proudly! We'll be
tallying the number of volunteers sporting their college
logo that morning and announcing the winner the following
week!
If you're
signed up for the Nov. 11th reading clubs but know you can't make it
after all, please be sure to
cancel your RSVP as soon as you can.
