TWIN LAKES CIVITAN – HELPING SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN TO READ! BOOKS NEEDED!
I have blogged in the past about this admirable organization, Twin Lakes Civitan, that helps special needs children of all ages to read by collecting books from authors. Read previous posts, here, here and here.
Here is an email I recently received from them. Contact person: LeQuita Foster
I just wanted to touch base with you. Our club still collects books through out the year to pack in a book bag and give out to Special Needs children in our area schools. At this point, we give to the following schools: Cotter, Norfork, Calico Rock, Mountain Home, Flippin, and Yellville-Summit schools here in northern Arkansas. We may add a christian academy this year. We filled approx. 180 book bags last year. The kids and the teachers love the project. It is accually one of our favorite projects.
The books you have sent to us in the past were wonderful and most appreciated. We were wondering if you would be interested in helping us again this year.
Regards,
Twin Lakes Civitan
If you have helped in the past or would like to help now please contact them at their address above and send along your books to encourage children of all ages to read. Thank you!
My fellow authors, this is one way to get your books into the hands of children. Isn’t that one of the reasons we write – for children to read and enjoy our books? Please spread some joy through reading!
Please help Twin Lakes Civitan enable special needs children to learn how important reading is to their development. Thank you for anything you can do to help these children.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your continued support.
REMEMBER: READING GIVES YOU WINGS TO FLY! SOAR ALL YEAR THROUGH WITH JEMSBOOKS.COM! HAPPY READING!
Reading is good for your health. Start reading today and get healthier.
Blessings & Hugs!
