X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Status: O Content-Length: 2223 Lines: 68 Hello! After 2 years of planning, the SIBL Project - Songs Inspired by Literature - is releasing the first benefit CD to raise awareness and funds for literacy. It features cuts by Bruce Springsteen and Suzanne Vega to name a few. These songs inspired by books will build a bridge between readers and non-reader through the universal language of music. The CD is a calling-card to wake up the media and alert the public to the magnificent work that all of you are doing to help build a more literate America. As a nonprofit funded in part by the State Library of California, The SIBL Project is committed to augmenting your outreach and fundraising efforts by creating innovative tools for you to use. These CDs have 16 tracks and promote 16 books. We sell them in packs of 16 - with a free carrying box that serves as a point-of purchase stand. Each CD is priced at $5 for you - then you sell them for $15 and make $10 pure profit / CD. WE have set up a web page just for you - you can learn about ways to use this CD - and you can download an order form. http://www.SIBLproject.org/programs.html Your tutors and learner all have connections through their jobs and communities. They are you ambassadors for literacy. Like the Girl Scout cookie campaign - they can hit the streets for you and get the country talking about books and literacy and the magic of reading. They can raise a great deal of money too. And most importantly, they will show those who have yet to walk into a literacy program that there is hope - that there is free help that they probably did not even know existed. We hope to work with all of you over the next few months. Please don't hesitate to call me directly at 415.553.3330. I look forward helping you in your efforts to increase growth and traffic in your literacy programs by connecting to the public in a way that was not possible before. with heart and song - Deborah Pardes Founder The SIBL Project SIBL - Songs Inspired By Literature -artists for literacy - 415.553.3330 http://www.siblproject.org Inspire someone to read - even if it's you. 1 in 5 American Adults cannot read above a fifth grade level 60 % of those who can - haven't picked up a book this year
