Kids Need to Read Used Book Sale This Saturday (February 6) in Mesa!

(edited from the KNTR webpost)

Last month, Kids Need to Read (KNTR), one of our favorite (and now local!) charities, asked you for donations of gently used books, and many of you were generous enough to send them a bunch.  This Saturday, February 6th, you can come by Sequoia Charter School’s gym in Mesa, Arizona to find some new, previously loved treasures.  (They won’t be in the gym proper, but in a room within the gym.)  KNTR is selling used books for all ages and genres, calendars, and buttons, so you will be sure to find something you’ll love!

The address for the school is:

1460 S. Horne Street
Mesa, AZ
85204

The sale will run from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.  The school is having a sporting event that day in the gym, so please respect their event.  We look forward to seeing you there!

Kids Need to Read Thank You Blog

Kids Need To Read has published a Thank You Blog to the Arizona Browncoats for our calendar sponsorship. They have some kind words to say about us and browncoats in general. Go check it out and leave a comment letting them know you stopped by.

Kids Need To Read donation achieved!

Arizona Browncoats now proudly sponsoring Kids Need To Read 2009 Calendar which features, so it seems, images of children reading in pretty locales.

We've reached our goal of $150! And, as promised, the AzBc Corporation has matched the amount to officially buy a sponsorship (the first, we win) for the calendar! We will be featured on the Sponsor Page in the calendar, mentioned in their blog, and are already linked on their website with a nice big logo. (Check it out!)

Thanks to the following people for their contributions: Nancy Gerry Margaret Grady Jennifer Anderson Susan and Russ Richins David and Lisa Richins Mel Laliberte

You can still donate to the KNTR sponsorship fund - we'll count it against the matching funds provided by the Corporation. You can also support another worthy cause, Equality Now, with your purchase of official 2009 CSTS merchandise or a donation to our CSTS screening fund.
