Also, there as been a change of plans for our Read Across America event.

We will be having a book drive for a school in need and hopefully visiting the school for a storytelling to celebrate our donation.

We have a school picked out, but need to fine tune the details which will hopefully be done by January's meeting. Regardless of the school details, the book drive will be a definite event starting in January.

For those who are wondering about the Burma/Nepal refugee tutoring, I'm still working on that. My contact at Catholic Charities has not responded to my requests for information, but Laura Gaffney-SNJEA member that brought the refugees to my attention is contacting the schools directly to see if we can help. Thanks Laura!!

I hope to see you at our meetings! If you would like to join our group please attend our new member meeting on 2/24 or email Jaime at Jaime.Sia@rutgers.camden.edu
