Over 400 classrooms in 35 Title 1 schools had a Rolling Reader during the
2008-2009 school year. Almost 8,000 elementary school children were served by
our volunteers and given a hard covered book. In addition, through the Barnes &
Noble
Holiday Book Drive, we received and distributed another 5000 books into
our community. Your support made it all possible.

Congratulations to

Kay has been a
volunteer for many
years. Safe Travels.

Our Mission: To inspire children's love of reading,
touch their imaginations and creativity through books
and build a community of successful, life-long readers
by providing trained, committed volunteers and new
books to at-risk elementary aged school children.  

Our Vision:  The Rolling Readers purpose and vision are very clear. We  have a major
crisis in our country.  In the past forty years our society has become less literate, with the
biggest decline occurring in those children already in the bottom half in reading test scores.
This "societal" problem requires a "societal" solution.

It is time for each of us, individually, to make a difference in the lives of the children  in our
schools and communities.  At Rolling Readers, we are a catalyst for making it happen.
To all our wonderful
volunteers:
Thank you for all
your time and effort.
Enjoy your summer.
See you in the fall.

President Obama announced a new initiative to encourage service in America —"United
We Serve" — and asked Americans of all ages to volunteer.

"I'm calling on all of you to make volunteerism and community service part of your daily
life and the life of this nation," said President Obama in a video release. "And when I say
'all,' I mean everyone – young and old, from every background, all across this country.
We need individuals, community organizations, corporations, foundations, and our
government to be part of this effort."
