Dear friends,
 
You are reading a shortened version of our newsletter, THE LITERACY BUZZ.  This issue contains timely announcements about some activities that are taking place during the month of November.  This (little) edition is to inform you of these fundraising events that will greatly benefit our agency and to invite you to be our guest at an upcoming evening Open House celebration.  Read on for the fun details...
 
In Thanksgiving,

Susan Vilardo
Executive Director
Open House Book Bee
 
"Bee" our guest at a FREE one hour experience that takes place right at our agency.   Learn about what it is like to be 55 years old and learning how to read for the very first time... hear testimonials from hard working students and passionate volunteer tutors.  Travel on a journey through literacy as the staff share stories about "A Day in the Life of the Council."  Light refreshments will be served.  Friday, November 7, 2008.  We do our best to begin and end on time:  11:00 a.m. until noon.  Reservations - to Joy Brown, 513.943.3742.
Benefit Days with Borders
 
Borders has given us a wonderful opportunity to fund raise.  Every time a shopper uses one of our special 10% off coupons, we benefit!  Over two days of shopping, the Literacy Council will receive a percentage of every coupon sale.  The more people who shop with the coupon, the more we benefit.  WE NEED YOUR HELP.  Our Border's event is this coming Friday and Saturday, November 7 and 8, 2008.  You could assist us getting the word out by simply sending this newsletter to everyone on your mailing list, OR by sending it to anyone you think would appreciate an enticement to shop at Borders on those two dates.  If you prefer having a stack of coupons to distribute, just let us know and we will be happy to get them to you.  Call us at 513.943.3741, or you can simply print out multiple copies of the coupons that can be found on our web site.
