How exciting to imagine all 120 Assistance League chapters, made up of 22,000 members, collectively “Taking Action”
nationwide during Action Week 2023 (August 21st-25th).
EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 15TH!
LITERACY is Assistance League of Newport-Mesa’s focus for Action Week 2023.
Our Book Brigade, in partnership with Julie Vasi, NMUSD District Librarian, has identified two elementary school libraries in desperate need of books: Wilson Elementary and California Elementary. There are 4 ways for our members to Take Action starting this week (see attached flyer for more details):
- Individually collect and donate gently used books.
- Organize a book drive among family, friends and neighbors.
- Purchase books or bookmarks from the Amazon Wish List, created by NMUSD District Librarian, which identifies needed nonfiction and multi-lingual books as well as special scratch & sniff bookmarks that are used as fun incentives to encourage reading.
- Make a financial donation designated for “Action Week Literacy”. Our Chapter will be making a financial grant towards the purchase of basic supplies needed at both libraries.
Items can be shipped direct to NMUSD:
