Thanks to the incredible support of our communities, every child who stopped at the Project READ booth last Saturday during the Children's Fair was able to go home with two new (to them) books. Once again Project READ volunteers came through with an estimated 3000 books donated to our book drive.
A big thanks goes to our business partners: Brewed Awakenings, Reed Drug, the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce, Edward Jones financial and the Itasca County Courthouse for hosting sites. Thanks also to the families of Southwest Elementary, RJEMS, St. Josephs School, and Greenway Schools for their generous support.
Tiffany Madsen's Girl Scouts troupe came through by placing Project READ stickers on close to 1500 books & the Kiwanis Daybreakers supported the drive at RJEMS.
Finally, the support of the Minnesota Reading Corp members at the Children's Fair ensured that everyone found a book they could enjoy.
