Good Morning, Are any of you interested in supporting Tom's request below? If so, please contact him ASAP to arrange a date and let me know as well. If no one contacts Tom in the next week I will arrange to share with the kids. This is a great opportunity for our Society to reach out to the community we support and excite the imagination of kids. Clay Hess GSAS President -----Original Message----- From: Tom Keogh [mailto:tomwkeogh@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 10:50 AM To: Hess, Clay A Subject: shoreline library inquiry Mr. Hess, I'm a volunteer coordinator of a Monday evening program for children ages 5 to 9 at Shoreline Library. The program consists of read-aloud stories and a visit each week from interesting individuals in the community. Those guests typically read a book to the kids (though that's not mandatory) and then talk about what they do (in their jobs, volunteer work, etc.) and answer kids' questions. In the past, we've had police chiefs and teachers and rockhounders and musicians and veterinarians, etc. I believe the kids would be very interested in hearing you, or perhaps another representative from GSAS, talk about fish, starting an aquarium, about GSAS and the aquarium community, etc. As I'm sure you know, children are fascinated by the whole subject, and many families consider starting an aquarium but don't know how to get started. Anyway, I'd like to invite you (or, again, another GSAS member) to be our guest at an upcoming session. The program starts at 7pm on Monday evenings at the Shoreline Library, and the time commitment is usually 45 minutes. I'm trying to book guests now for September and part of October, and have openings on 9/8, 9/15, 9/22, 10/6, and 10/13. Please let me know at your earliest convenience if this is something you would consider doing, and if you have a preferred night. If you want, you can call me at home anytime (425 771 0663). If you do an email reply, however, and you're willing to participate, it would be great if I could get a phone number for you. Thanks very much, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
