On Wednesday September 23th, remember to put a few extra bills in your pocket for our 19th annual Raise-a-Reader Day happening in Kamloops, Barriere, Chase, Clearwater and Logan Lake.
Once again, our local sponsors, sports teams, and staff are giving their time from 7:00-9:00 am at various Tim Hortons and McDonalds locations to trade a special Literacy in Kamloops newsletter for donations to literacy. 100% of the money collected will stay in the community, to help fund local family literacy programs. The funds raised will support many free literacy programs like Parent Child Mother Goose, Come Read with Me Parent Workshops, Bright Red Bookshelves and the Bright Red Book Bus.
Look for TRU sport teams, Kamloops Ambassadors, and local business leaders at these early morning coffee stops.
McDonalds locations: Fortune Drive Northshore, Valleyview, Aberdeen, Columbia Square-Sahali
Tim Hortons location: Orchard’s Walk, Valleyview, Brock Tim Hortons, Sahali-Superstore, Aberdeen-Rogers Way and Aberdeen-Esso
But if you miss the coffee stop, don’t worry! You can still make a donation by picking up a copy of the September issue of the Kamloops Chronicle and looking for our full page feature.
