SMART needs you

Oregon SMART (Start Making A Reader Today) still needs a lot of volunteers, and who better to promote literacy than the blogging community? It only takes an hour per week, and periodically you get cookies, punch, and hand-drawn holiday cards. Plus all of the warm fuzzy benefits of helping little kids learn to read. There are probably lots of openings at that school a few blocks from your home or work. (Unless you're super-rich, in which case, you might have to drive to the other side of the tracks.) SMART starts the week of October 11.
