October 21st
We are going to be kicking off our commitment to the schools in Clinton County – specifically our schools in St Johns on October 21st.
The first official event is going to be held at the Briggs Library on October 21st from 6:30-8. They will be reading and having lots of fun with a group of kids there.
They also plan to schedule our first assembly at Oakview that same day, when we deliver materials that they have requested. They have about $400 worth of books for a specific purpose.
Bikers for Books is a non profit group comprised of citizen bikers who believe in literacy and helping our kids get the materials they need, even when funding is short. To date they have raised over $20,000, attended 15 schools, donated thousands of dollars worth of books to various groups and been in front of almost 7000 kids.
They have followers from as far away as South Africa, and we just received a donation of books in the mail from Florida. They have requests to visit school in 5 other states.
