Greetings!
As summer ends, we want to thank everyone one more time for contributing to Summer Reading Buddies' huge success. We want to thank our guest readers, Morning of Service participants and funders, but especially our tried and true committed volunteers that come day after day and week after week. We couldn't do it without you!
Now that fall is approaching, we are working hard to get our school year programs up and running. We look forward to seeing our mentors return to SMART, Reading Buddies After School, Intro2America and continue at Open Book. Please let us know if you want to volunteer. One hour a week, one student at a time, change a child's life. Respectfully Yours,
Janice Lubin Kirschner Executive Director |
