I've gotta say, the people at Room to Read are a class act. I just received a letter in the mail that I can use as my tax-deductible contribution. They could've just sent me a receipt and I'd give it to my accountant, but they went the extra mile. They sent me a wonderful card with pictures of happy students on the front. It's a hand-written card (you just don't see those much anymore!) saying how much they appreciate the Vermont Helps Room to Read initiative. I'm so glad I'm working on this project.
I did the RABA (Richmond Area Business Association) Holiday market and it was wonderful to see neighbors buying locally and willing to help globally. I had a lot of donations (we now just need 384 people willing to donate $20 to hit our goal!) and I was so happy with the response and warmth. Billy set up his own computer so we could take donations online and Marie has reached out to the students at CHMS. It's nice to see the community helping in anyway they can.
If you can help spread the word, I know we'll be able to reach our goal.
