Rhymefest Holiday Book Drive

Support.
I am excited to announce my holiday literacy program: Catch People Reading (CPR). Literacy is the lifeline to our education system.  Not only will CPR help bring literacy awareness to our youth but it will also encourage students to read over the holiday season.  Donated books from across the city will reach the inner city youth (coupled with exciting incentives designed by yours truly) to keep literacy
alive….CPR!

Donated children's/young adult books can be dropped off at:

- Kennedy King College: 6301 South Halsted Street Bld W144 – SGA Office
- Exclusively Yours Auto Spa: 5820 S. State St.

If you are outside of Chicago, you can mail your donation before Wed.
December 22, 2010 to:

Exclusively Yours Auto Spa
ATTN: Book Drive
5820 S. State St.
Chicago, IL 60621

Our youth are the future….literacy is their lifeline. Thank you for your support!
