READ4LIFE PROVIDES FREE BOOKS
Submitted by PDG John Wilson (jbwilsonrotary@gmail.com)
Newark Rotary's READ 4 LIFE initiative, a program set up to distribute thousands of free books throughout greater Newark, partnered with United Community Corporation to distribute some 400 titles at the latter's Barbecue for a Cause event. The barbecue took place on Saturday, August 14 at the West Side Recreation Center. The partnership was just one of many that Newark Rotary has fostered throughout the City to oversee the distribution of FREE titles to individuals and local organizations including non-profits and small businesses. Plans are also being formulated to hopefully distribute to those in need outside the Greater Newark area. Saturday also saw The READ 4 LIFE RUN, an event which Newark Rotary co-sponsored with Brick City Running Club. Anyone interested in obtaining free titles for distribution at their event is asked to contact Mike Minor at Mike@puredv.org. This includes District 7475 Rotary Clubs!
