Project READ! is happy to report we gave away nearly 60 brand new books last Tuesday! We'll be at it again this coming Tuesday, August 2nd, with Michelle Davis and Jill Paul as our fantastic volunteer drivers. (Have I mentioned that we have a total of 20 amazing volunteer drivers this summer!?!)
I just checked, and there is rain in the forecast for Tuesday, and so if it's actively raining during the time slot you plan to join us, or really windy and feels like it will rain, please plan to join us at one of our rain sites.
Here's our schedule, and we'll plan to be at each site during the times below (weather permitting) with books and smiles to give away for free.

9:00-9:30 Jerusalem Schoolhouse (rain site)

Project READ! is an all-volunteer organization made up of community members, parents, and teachers committed to promoting the love of reading in our town. We depend on community support, and we appreciate our volunteers! For more information or to find out how you can help, please email connortimmons@gmail.com or kantosketcham@cvsdvt.org. And, yes, we do have Vermont Folk Rocker raffle tickets for sale. Please consider stopping by the Starksboro Public Library (Monday 10-6, Tuesday 10-5, and Saturdays 9-2) to buy one, five, or ten raffle tickets to support the work of Project READ! (we put on the Robinson Elementary School author visit and the annual Baby Brunch too!).
Lastly, the summer MAUSD/ANESU is offering free meal kits for all kids 18 and under. They are offering a box of fresh food to make multiple meals for one child, including fruits and vegetables, bread, protein and milk. Meal kits should be pre-ordered, and pick up locations are available at the Robinson Elementary School, Brookside Dr., Hillside Dr., and Lazy Brook Dr. Bookwagon sites in Starksboro, as well as in Vergennes and Bristol. For more information about the meal kits, please call Kathy or Erika at 802-453-7002 or email kathy.alexander@mausd.org.
