[Bookstoprisoners] reading group

[sara ross]

Hi Everyone!
Thanks so much for all the encouraging e-mails about the reading/screening group. We are looking forward to it. 
I did become an IMC member and so getting into the family room will be easy. 
If B2P would like to sponsor the reading/screening group that'd be great! In the meantime, we're gonna go ahead and send out E-fliers about it to start putting it on the radar, giving folks enough time to arrange schedules ect. Since the meeting to decide sponsorship, or not, will be in Jan, we'll make regular fliers now 
and edit in sponsorship when/if that happens. Sound ok? 
Again, thanks for your time and responses! 
Best, sarah ross

 This sounds grat.  I don't see any reasons that BTP shouldn't "sponsor" this.  Anyone else like to weigh in?

i personally like the idea of B2P sponsorship, which would simply help 
you get the Family Room for less (or free) and perhaps encourage a
couple of volunteers to join, but we would have to discuss this as a
whole and agree upon it in our January 12 meeting (the monthly meeting
 for keystaff and packing volunteers.) 
     I would be in it myself, but currently have every Tuesday night
taken. This could possibly  change in the Spring semester. Barbara
