Did you know that for only one hour a month you can help fight illiteracy? Have you always wanted to be involved with Rotaract’s international award winning signature service project—Ready 2 Read? If the answers are yes, you need to be a Reading Buddy.
We are recruiting Reading Buddies for the upcoming school year. Each Reading Buddy is asked to commit to reading to their assigned classroom one a month. Reading Buddies are vital to the success of Ready 2 Read, and as our project, we need all our members to volunteer.
If you are interested in being a Reading Buddy, please sign up on the Rotaract website. For more information please contact Richard Davis richard.davis@willis.com.

Want to help with the Ready 2 Read program but can’t commit to being a bi-monthly classroom volunteer? Better Basics needs help delivering all the libraries to 36 Birmingham City Schools.
We will be delivering the libraries between Sept. 7-10 and will meet at the Better Basics office at 9:00 a.m. each day.
If you can help for a couple of hours one day, please let Lauri Rogers know. You may contact her at 944-2928 or volunteer@betterbasics.org. Each classroom library consists of either five bags of books or three boxes, so it would be especially helpful if you have a truck or SUV.
Email Bains at bfleming@nwkt.com if you have questions.
Relax outside, enjoy half-price drinks and get to know fellow Rotaractors at one of the most popular watering holes in Mountain Brook at Rotaract’s monthly happy hour at Dram from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. Register online if you can make it!
