The Bulletin 04/29/09 Andy Tullis Thank You !
Bend resident Phyllis Bear is ready to fill 50 empty barrels with kids’ books, as part of RSVP Read Together Books & Bears. The new reading program will launch Friday, when the donation barrels — donated by the Rotary Club of Greater Bend — will appear across Deschutes County. People are being asked to donate used children’s books to the program, which will give them to kids in need. The program is targeting children from birth to fifth grade. Bear hopes the program will collect 4,000 to 5,000 books in its first year. To donate, look for barrel locations on the program’s Web site at www.rsvpco.org/BooksandBears.html.
