Success Won't Wait - Duel on the Delaware Book Drive

4th Annual Success Won't Wait Book Drive
at the Duel on the Delaware - October 13th, 2007

Team who brings most weight in books wins a prize
(magazines, encyclopedias and textbooks NOT ACCEPTED)
www.successwontwait.org

Teams!!! Continue collecting those books for our annual book drive! Here is a note from the Success Won't Wait organization after last year's drive to give you an example of how your books are being used.

See your team (and lots of books) at the Duel on October 13th!

================

The following update is from the organizers of the Success Won't Wait
Book Drive at the Duel on the Delaware event. Thanks again for all of your
book donation efforts. Your books are being put to good use!

SUCCESS WON'T WAIT UPDATE

To finish out 2006, we have a very large project in the works with the
Police Athletic League (PAL) centers of Philadelphia. There are 27 centers in the city which service the needs of urban schoolchildren ages 6-18. Lt. Susan Slawson from PAL has partnered with us to provide a reward system for these kids. Each center will receive a package of approximately 125 books representing a wide age range. These will be used as rewards for
exceptional behavior.

According to Lt. Slawson, using rewards like this in the past has
consistently inspired amazing behavioral changes (finishing homework
assignments, volunteering for projects, etc.). She also said that many
of these children have NEVER OWNED A BOOK -- something we had a hard time grasping.

The books that were collected at the third annual Miracle of Reading
Education Book Drive (at the Duel on the Delaware) will help us complete
this project. When finished over 3,000 books, many obtained through
FIRST volunteers, will be available to children from some of Philadelphia's
most economically disadvantaged areas.

Thank you for continuing to support our mission. Read now, because
Success Won't Wait!

Susan McNeill and Vincenza Carrieri-Russo
Success Won't Wait organizers

John, Susan,

Re: Team 423 Springfield has an unusully large number of books.
Our Church has taken up a large collection. Transport to New Orleans hasn't worked out. More than one pickup truck.
If you want to send someone to look at them, that could be arranged.
We will have some trouble transporting them since we have a small team and all if the adults will be in charge of the kids on 10/21.

Can we negotiate another time for delivery (sooner ?) and another place ?
Maybe closer to NW Phila ?

Charlie:

That's great! We'll take 'em. I'll give you a call.

It appears that Team 423 has upped the bar on the Duel Book Drive competition! Teams -keep bringing in those books and we can top last year's record -setting limit!
