Friends of Open Books,
HOORAY! 2010 is off to a fantastic start for Open Books -- we just found out that we're in the final voting round for a $20,000 grant, which would help us fund our Buddies program for hundreds of kids in some of Chicago's most challenging neighborhoods. To make it this far, we submitted a detailed proposal explaining how we match each child with his or her own adult Reading Buddy, how they spend time every week reading together, and how the program has given many of these children the first book they've ever owned. Now, all we need is your vote...and as many others as you can help us get!
Voting is free, anonymous, takes less than 5 seconds, and gets you not only the warm thrill of helping an awesome cause, but also a 10% discount on any purchases you make from Better World Books. Build up love for 2010 by voting now and telling everyone you know to do the same -- your Facebook friends, your Twitter readers, your colleagues, your family, your pets, everyone!
The amazingly easy voting page is at:
