 		 Printer-friendly version
If you received the last Monday Morning Report you might have noticed a press release announcing First 5 LA's November Literacy Campaign. I'd like to draw attention to the campaign again and encourage all of our readers to get involved. Beginning Nov. 5th, we will have Public Service Announcements running on Time Warner Cable stations promoting our campaign and a variety of county-wide literacy events for families.

Below are two events that you and the families you serve can attend. Several other opportunities are listed on the Ready, Set, Grow! Web site. Please note that families who attend will receive a free book!

There will be read-alongs for children at this event. Readers will include radio celebrity Josepha Salinas, radio DJ for HOT 92.3 Jams, L.A. County First District Supervisor Gloria Molina and myself, First 5 LA's executive director.
