Help Boys & Girls Clubs Literacy Program This Weekend!

Calling all readers! I found out about this at Red County/OC Blog – we have an opportunity to help out the OC literacy effort by assisting in a special event spearheaded by TheLiberalOC.com‘s Mike Lawson. As you all know, literacy is perhaps my biggest passion and as such I am very happy to support this effort. Kudos to Lawson and company for putting this together:

Dear Friends, Family, and random addresses in my contact list,

As most of you know, I am a literacy coordinator for The Boys & Girls Clubs of Garden Grove, and this weekend we are holding an event to raise awareness and funds for our program.

The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on November 25 and 26 (Saturday and Sunday) at the Barnes & Noble bookstore located at 791 S. Main Street in Orange (right across the street from Main Place Mall).

If you come into Barnes & Nobles this weekend and present the attached flyer, The Boys & Girls Clubs of Garden Grove’s REACH For Literacy Program will receive a portion of the money you spend.

More about our program:

In partnership with the Garden Grove Unified School District, REACH (Reading Education for Adults & Children) offers free English language classes for adults and their children Monday through Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings at 10 school sites. Since the spring of 2005, we have served over 2,000 families in Garden Grove, Santa Ana and Stanton. A great majority of the our adults students are hardworking immigrants. Many of them work two or three jobs a week
