Celebrating our
27th Wedding Anniversary
so I thought I would repost the
GET CAUGHT READING
info to see how you all
were doing with my challenge.
Last year was the 10th anniversary of "Get Caught Reading". Get Caught Reading is a nationwide public service campaign to promote the joy of reading. Through celebrity involvement, the campaign carries the message that reading inspires, educates, empowers, entertains, touches the soul, sparks the imagination and opens the door to a world of opportunities and rewards. I am a little disappointed that this year it has kind of been forgotten, all publicity on the internet deals with last year's anniversary. Hopefully as we get into the month it will become more publicized.
The true theme of the month is to excite children about the joys of reading, so spend some time this month reading with your children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews. Volunteer to read to children at a school or daycare. Or go to the other end of the spectrum and check out local care centers or assisted living homes and bring the joy of reading back to some of the elderly who may have vision or other issues that keep them from reading. Donate some of your old audio books to Senior Centers.
If you do "Get Caught Reading", have someone snap your picture, send it to me at dollycas79@gmail.com and I'll add it to my slide show in the sidebar.
HAPPY READING!!!!
Note: If you like this idea, please feel free to grab the graphic at the top and post about it on your blog. I think it is an important message and the more publicity it gets the better. Post your own thoughts, make your own challenge or copy mine, the important thing is to get everyone reading.
