Nominate your members, give literacy a helping hand!

Thanks to Steve Soskin for this announcement:

Opportunity to nominate your volunteers, members or partners for

Patterson PageTurner Award (www.pattersonpageturner.org
<http://www.pattersonpageturner.org/> )

In 2005, author James Patterson launched the Patterson PageTurner Awards
to recognize individuals, organizations and companies that are
creatively spreading the excitement of books and reading. In honor of
the selected winners, First Book also distributed 1,000 books to
literacy programs serving disadvantaged children selected by each
finalist.

This year, the PageTurner Awards will provide $500,000 to various groups
or individuals to help support their tremendous efforts in the field of
literacy, and First Book will continue to donate books as well.

Please nominate your members, volunteers, organizations and corporate
whose commitment and dedication to reading and education helps shape the
literacy landscape.
