Fall Extravaganza 2008
Sharing a Love of Reading Across the Nation: From California to Rhode Island
Saturday, September 27, 2008
      Last fall marked a big change in our program - Kyle is in Rhode Island for college while Brady is in California.  We decided to have a Fall Extravaganza to Celebrate the Joy of Reading Across the Nation! We invited volunteers to join us in a day of reading across the country - we worked on getting teens, librarians, mayors, fire chiefs, police officers, great readers, and even Mother Goose involved with reading in the capitol cities along the route from California to Rhode Island. In addition, we invited any and all interested in taking some time out of their busy lives to read to children on September 27th, 2008. (Pictures are at the bottom of this page!)
We Supplied Books to Distribute and Bookplates
