Jean Dean RIF Opelika, Alabama


Wow! Jean dean RIf is off with a bang in 0910! Our 20th year--hard to believe. We've already started celebrating it. In late August, we had Tri-K where we had 200 members of the Kiwanis family from all over the state who broke our all time number of books handled in one day record by inventorying and putting bookplates in 37,000 books in one day!! THEN--We put out our first newsletter ever after that -compliments of funding from Opelika Kiwanian Rich Bailey. In late September-- we had our literacy in-service site meeting -well attended by 90 representatives from the 550 sites we serve statewide! On October 3 we broke another record!! At our 2nd Annual RUN TO READ, we had 200 people register and counting volunteers, over 200 people actually attend the event--four times more than last year!!! Many thanks to Run Director Extraordinaire Rich Bailey and his dedicated Run Committee!!
