COCKTAILS FOR A CAUSE
Bring a friend and a children's book and join GenNext Wednesday, March 7
from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at Bar Louie Downtown, 504 Park Street
In celebration of Read Across America Month and Dr. Seuss's (belated) birthday, we will be collecting children's books for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Columbus!
Motivating children to read is an important factor in student achievement and creating successful, lifelong readers. Research has shown that children who are motivated and spend more time reading do better in school.
Bring yourself, a friend and a book (or many) to donate to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Columbus and enjoy complimentary hors d'oeuvres and happy hour drink specials provided by Bar Louie.
