LATINO BOOK CLUB'S BOOK DRIVE

THE IDEA:
The book drive is an idea that emerged from Marcio's suggestion at the first meeting of the Book Club to donate the books read in our club to school children. As we have entered into our second year and we have been going strong with 30+ members. I thought it was time we expand our love for books to students in local schools and ESL programs. We all are in some way or the other involved with the Latino cultures and of course would love to help Latino kids, but I think if our book drive can reach as many kids as possible, irrespective of their race or ethnicity, it will be a success.

THE PLAN:
This is where I need help. I have contacted Eleni Pappamihiel, a member of the Latino Book Club and also a Professor of Education at UNCW. She has been kind enough to get us in touch with three local schools who have all shown interest in our plan and be the target programs. These schools are: Williston Middle School, Hoggard High School, and Mary C. Williams Elementary School.

Now we need to figure out the next step. Please send your comments.
NEXT MEETING: 28th April 3 PM Leutze Hall 103.
