Happy Dollars
Members were happy for: Mary Beth Bretzlauf was happy to hear from our speaker, Sarna Goldenberg Phil Lazarus was happy for his granddaughter's Bat Mitzvah, and thankful for the great weather; Karen Dennis gave a dollar for each each of the 13 concerts MYA performed on Sunday (and for the weather); Doris Xie was happy for the summer-like weather and that she was part of the Charities Committee with Paul Munk and Jeff Colman.
 
 
The Day's Program
Our speaker, Sarna Goldenberg, is the Director of Marketing and Communications for Bernie's Book Bank. BBB started in 2009 and in that time they have distributed nearly 20 million books! BBB distributes free quality children's books to significantly increase book ownership among infants, toddlers and school aged children mainly throughout the Lake, Cook and McHenry counties. They partner with schools and other organizations where there is a need - usually those students getting reduced or free lunches. They also work with area food banks. Even during the pandemic, without volunteers, BBB found new distribution resources and managed to distribute 1.7 million books in 2020!  The organization currently has 30 employees - about half are fulltime. They are currently closed to volunteers at this time but hope to have our Club and the Interact students help out again very soon. In the meantime, they are accepting donations of new and gently used children's books for children from birth to 6th grade. They cannot accept reference and textbooks or coloring books. If monetary donations are more your thing, every $12 provides 12 books for an under-served child.
 
This presentation was a great dovetail to Rich Rosen's about literacy last month.
