Take Stock in Children Announcements
You can help Take Stock this holiday season!
It is that time of year when people gather for fellowship, holiday spirit and a time of giving. We wanted to share an idea someone told us about that could help Take Stock in Children. When you have a dinner party this holiday season, ask each guest for a small donation for Take Stock in Children ($10-20). Over dinner, take a few moments to explain the program and your mentoring experience. That's it! If each mentor invited 10 friends who each gave $10, that would be over $12,500 raised! The most important thing is to raise awareness of the difference this program is making in the lives of low-income children. Thank you for your continued commitment.
Attention Mentors: We love to hear updates on our scholars and mentors! If any interesting or significant events occur with your scholar or yourself, please let us know.
Education Ball postponed
We wanted to let you know the Education Ball has been postponed. It is now September 18, 2011. We will keep you posted of new developments.
