[Bookstoprisoners] Lincoln's Challenge cadets

[Sandra Ahten]

BIgger question I have been pondering. SHould we start calling it the 
Community Book Drive to benefit the Books to Prisoners Program and looking 
for co-sponsors.

Including the likes of the Champaign County Board (who might declare a 
"books to prisoners" day in champaign county)... or some such thing; the 
Food Coop (who might provide meals), honor socieities (who might work the 
tables, flier before hand, etc)

I don't think with our current staff that we could honestly do a meal 
(though it would be great... to have for all volunteers) until we get more 
volunteers.

That said, I kind of think that, operating on faith and knowledge that we 
live in an awesome community, we could probably say, yes, we'll have 
pasteries, cereal and milk and fruit in the morning and a sack lunch.

The cadets don't need to be there all day, but it might be nice to have them 
there, carry books to the cars, each in charge of a table (keeping it 
straigtened), etc.

I"m rambling.
