Hooray!! Dewey's Read-a-Thon coming up on October 22nd!

All pledges made to me will go directly to the school my daughter attends, Alpine Valley (http://www.alpinevalleyschool.com/ ). It has been such a lovely place for her to be (after visiting AVS for the first time she said, "Well,if I go to school that is where I'm
going to go.") and I know they will find a good use for whatever money I raise.(for more about the Sudbury model see: http://www.sudval.org/ )

I'd like to offer three different ways to pledge and let each donor choose.

* pledge by minutes read (e.g. a quarter for each minute I read)
* pledge by books read (e.g. $15 for each book completed during the challenge)
* pledge by pages read (e.g. a dime for each page read)


Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Also, if there is a book you'd like to insist I read during the challenge, you can ensure it happens for the low, low rate of $20 a book. :) This is your chance, folks, to preach, to what may or may not be the choir, about your favorite book(s). Don't let the door of opportunity slam shut on your toes!
