Marvelous March is Open Books Month! New programs are in full swing, spring will be here soon (we hope), and there's never been a better time to celebrate and support literacy by volunteering at one of our programs, coming to great Open Books events, or getting your company involved with our brand-new corporate program. Join us!

 March Is Our Month!
Other reasons you should go...
- The view this restaurant has to offer is amazing.
- The food, drinks and service are wonderful!
Find a reason in your life to celebrate (the fact that you can read, even!), invite others to celebrate with you, go out for dinner, and you'll be helping us to carry out our mission of literacy.
For more information, visit the Events page.See you at the 95th!

 WeWrite creative writing workshops for adults finished this week, and the Open Books team is so proud of the stories and poems that were born from the Tuesday night sessions. Check out excerpts on our blog -- and stay tuned for news of the program's next round! (Thursday night folks, we still have March 5 and 11 to go!)
The Open Books Literacy Department is currently considering applications for summer interns. Apply by Wednesday, March 11, to ensure consideration! Open Books students need a range of role models, and diversity makes for a more fun, effective, inspiring literacy organization. Thus, we're always seeking volunteers, donors, and supporters of every ethnicity, age, gender, side of town, interest, you name it! What can YOU do? Tell your friends, family, colleagues, and contacts to join Open Books, especially those who represent another cultural experience or point of view! Or bring them to Party with a Purpose on March 12 to meet us! |
 March is our month! Take your friends and family to dinner at the Signature Room and enjoy amazing views, fantastic food, and the delight of
helping our mission of literacy!
It's not too late to get YOUR tickets to the Party with a Purpose! Come and PARTY with Open Books on Thursday, March 12, at Mad River. It's economical - $25 gets you all the PASTA and PIZZA, PLUS beer and wine you'd like. Open Books Staff members will be bartending. (That alone should be interesting and entertaining.) There will be literary-themed cocktails, book swapping and prizes for costumes, and your $25 ticket will help fund additional literacy programs AND get you a full belly, some laughs and a good time. |
