The Power of 15 Minutes and $15

 Between The Lines had some very memorable experiences working with families this year, especially one Dad who said that he was able to establish a relationship with his daughter that he didn’t have before because he recorded a book for her.  It’s amazing the kind of effect that can be made on a family with about 15 minutes of volunteer time and about $15 of funds! 

 Here is a look at what was accomplished this year:

 5 readings: 4 with correctional facilities, 1 with the National Guard

  • 107 parents reading to 181 children who were directly impacted 
  • BTL members gave approximately 748 volunteer hours
  • In-kind and monetary donations procured from the Amazon wish list and Book Fair will impact approximately 180 children, some this year and some into future years:

A huge THANK YOU to all of the amazing people who made this kind of community impact possible: committee members, volunteers, donors, and supporters – you all make such a difference!
