On Saturday October 13th JHRTS members joined 50 other volunteers from READING TO KIDS at Politi Elementary School in downtown Los Angeles to take part in their “Halloween, Magic and Mysteries” reading club. Volunteers spent the morning doing arts and crafts, singing and of course, reading to kids in  classrooms. “It was an enriching experience. I had a great time and would definitely do this again,” said co-president Mark Ambrose, who read BEHIND THE MASK to a group of second graders.  “We had a great turnout for our first event and we look forward to continuing to reach out to our community this year,” said co-president Kathleen McCaffrey, who read LOS GATOS BLACK ON HALLOWEEN to kindergarteners.

Thanks to everyone who turned out for the event and a special thanks to Leela Roof for organizing the outreach. Our next community outreach is scheduled for sometime in November.  For more information on READING TO KIDS go to http://readingtokids.org
