In December, the CRC hosted a Book Fair at Barnes and Noble. Members kept the children engaged in literacy activities, including a reading of The Polar Express, every 30 minutes in the children's section (giving parents the opportunity to shop for books). Students who attended had the opportunity to win a gift card, and members had the chance to win a CRC T-shirt or gift card.
Those who gave the gift of literacy were the true winners that night!
