Our dedicated volunteers keep filling up our February 14th "People & Places Around the World" reading clubs, though we also continue to have spots open up as people cancel.

If you check www.readingtokids.org and see no open spots, please keep checking back over the next two weeks.

(If you have signed up and can't make it after all, please cancel your RSVP online immediately to make room for another volunteer.)

When our reading clubs are full, they are only really full for those who want to read to the kids.

For those experienced volunteers who are open to it, we can add in your RSVP as a Site Operations Helper to assist our Site Coordinators at any of our schools.

Site Operations Helpers usually don't get to read, but they get to participate in creating a magical experience for the kids and volunteers that morning!

If you have volunteered with us before and are ready to try the valuable Site Operations Helper role, e-mail us at info@readingtokids.org and let us know!

Our March 14th reading clubs feature "Music & Entertainment", and we are looking for five more musicians, dancers, or other entertainers to perform at each of our seven partner schools.

In the past we've had everything from Korean drum troupes, electric violin players, mariachi dancers, and marching bands!

If you or someone you know is interested in entertaining our students and volunteers, email us at info@readingtokids.org.

Looking ahead to our April reading clubs, we would love to give away a computer or iPad/tablet to one lucky kid at each school!

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!
