We want to fill the room with enthusiastic bingo players, so whether or not you can go, please share our May 21st Bingo event on Facebook by tagging and inviting your friends!
The drinks are strong, the drag queen bingo is "R" rated,
and seating is limited, so be sure to reserve your seat in advance! All attendees must be 18 years old or older.
If you've been before you know it's a blast. If you haven't, click here for a video on their website to see what you've been missing!
Please click the image above for a flyer in .PDF format and forward it to anyone you know who may be interested in going to our Legendary Bingo Night. You can also print out the flyer and post it wherever many people are likely to see it, perhaps with a note that you are going and inviting others to join you.

JUNE 14TH
SUMMER READING CLUBS
Our June 14th reading clubs are probably already full, though please keep checking our website over the next few weeks for any recent cancellations or new spots we get to open!
(If you signed up for the reading clubs but can't join us,
please
cancel your RSVP now so that another volunteer can read with us.)
These June reading clubs are smaller because the schools will be on their summer break.
Mark your calendars for July 12th and August 9th as we keep students enjoying books throughout the summer!
Note about White Elementary: Charles White Elementary may be closed the weekend of June 14th, so for now we have closed the RSVPs for that school.
For our June 14th reading clubs
we encourage you to volunteer at any of Reading to Kids'
other 7 schools! For a map of all of our school sites,
click here.
We will email all recent Charles White Elementary volunteers if we get to re-open the RSVPs for the June 14th clubs.
LEAD VOLUNTEERS WANTED!
We also need more of our experienced volunteers to
help train new and returning volunteers, be a GLC, check in volunteers, or especially be a Site Operations Helper
at any of our schools.
If you have volunteered with us before and are willing to help with the above roles, e-mail us at info@readingtokids.org to tell us the above role you would like to take on to help create wonderful reading clubs!
If your school is full and you are an experienced volunteer with us, let us know if you can fill any of the above roles and we'll respond about adding in your RSVP.
SCHOOL AMBASSADORS WANTED 6/9 & 6/10,
LAST TWO DAYS OF THE SCHOOL YEAR!
The school year ends on June 10th, the Tuesday before our June 14th reading clubs. Thus, Monday, June 9th & Tuesday, June 10th we need ambassadors to visit any of our schools for an hour during the school day to encourage kids to come to the June 14th reading clubs.
Reply to this email if you can be an ambassador for an hour either of those days!

HELP US FIND GRANTS!
Did you know Reading to Kids receives about
half of our funding from corporate and foundation
grants? For example, over the last five years alone
seven of our volunteers helped us receive $142,000 in
grants from their employers!
Please check to see if your employer offers grants
that Reading to Kids can apply to and let us know at
info@readingtokids.org!
You may help us buy thousands of books for kids!

3 COMPUTERS OR TABLETS
WANTED FOR JUNE
At our June reading clubs we would love to give away a computer or iPad/tablet to one lucky kid at each school, but we need three more of them to make that happen!
If you or your employer have any working computers that are less than 6 years old running Windows 10 or later, or any Macintosh computers less than 7 years old, or any iPads or similar tablets, we can give them to deserving kids!
We especially need working computers (CPUs), whether or not they come with monitors, keyboards, etc. Please email us at
info@readingtokids.org to help make a kid very happy!
