Conference 7.286::digital

1059.0. "volunteering opportunity" by VISHNU::KRISHNASWAMY (walk straight in tomorrow's wind) Fri Mar 23 1990 10:20

CAVEAT:

There are a couple of possible problems with this note.

    a) DIGITAL and its employees are always active in their communities. So
    I thought it would not be inappropriate to use this conference to reach
    a wide distribution of people. But, this *may* contravene
    the rules and so may not be the right conference for it. In which case,
    moderator, it is O.K. to delete

b) It requests some voluntary action. It does NOT solicit funds, it is NOT 
a political announcement, or in support of any religious or radical group.
So it should not be in violation of company P & Ps. If it is, again, please 
delete - no hard feelings.

It is a painless, even enjoyable, and costless way to show support. I hope 
you will all participate to the extent possible. There are numbers given at 
the end for more information. If not, you can also send VAXMail to me at 
NETMAN::KRISHNASWAMY or call DTN 226-5534.

Now to the NOTE:

		PARTNERSHIP FOR LITERACY READ-A-THON


The Maynard adult learning center, the Patriots Trail Girl Scout Council 
and the libraries of Acton, Maynard, Stow, Sudbury and Hudson will host 
read-a-thons for literacy on THURSDAY APRIL 5 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. 
Refreshments will be served all day and an area in the library will be set 
up for any volunteer to show support for literacy by silent reading. 
Participants will sign in, keep track of pages read, and sign out when 
finished. This simple gesture will show support for reading and literacy 
skills. 
    
    You are not required to be there all day, just for the time you can
    afford ( a long lunch hour perhaps or an hour or two in the evening on
    the way home?)

You can choose books from the library, or bring your own reading material. 

For more information, call the appropriate library, or Patriots Trail Girl 
Scout Council at (800) 882-1662.

     Thanks again
