Everyone did a good job of getting them e-mail messages! Ellie Macfarlane >>> Dionne Dobbins <ddobbins@email.unc.edu> 12/17/96 11:13am >>> I thought that this would be a good project for everyone: Electronic charity, good use of bandwidth. Houghton-Mifflin is giving books to children's hospitals. How many books they give depends on how many emails they receive from people around the world. For every 25 emails they receive, they give one book--it seems like a great way for family literacy people to help a good cause. All you have to do is mail to : share@hmco.com. I hope you can spare the seconds and let your friends know. Last year they reached 23,000 and are way below that goal this year Dionne Dobbins Special Education Post-Doctoral Fellow University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Education, Peabody Hall 019 CB#3500, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3500
