Please note these are not L.A. Works-led projects, but are presented here as a community service . At these reading clubs, pairs of volunteers read aloud to small groups of elementary school children. The reading clubs provide a fun and interactive environment for the kids, their teachers, and for the volunteers who donate their time each month.
Volunteers begin the day with breakfast, which is provided for the volunteers that morning.
At the end of each session, the children are each given a book for participating. The National Organization for Renal Disease needs volunters to usher, distribute programs, and help collect donations at a free concert to be held at Forest Lawn, Hollywood Hills in the Hall of Liberty. Service MEND is having a fundraising dinner on Saturday September 22 at a private home in a gated community in Northridge. Dinner will be provided. It is mainly with the food, and dinner service that they will need clean up.
