Vote for RIF Kids

AMEX 2010American Express will donate $200,000 to the participating charity with the most votes in their online Members Project. Please vote as often as once a week to help RIF offer kids new books and reading motivation.


Reinstate RIF: We're Moving Forward!

Good news! The House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees on Education have reinstated RIF's FY11 funding. But challenges remain. The funding must still be approved by full committees in both houses of Congress, make it into the final bill, and be signed by President Obama. We may need your help, so please stay tuned at Rasco From RIF and RIF's Advocacy Center for the latest news. Thank you!

  Worth a Read
 

"All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they really happened
and after you are finished reading one, you will feel that it all happened to you."
Ernest Hemingway
