I want to make sure you get in touch with the right people, so I&#039;d email Sarah with the YMCA to see if their facilitators are available: sraser@ywcampls.org. 

Thanks!

		<description>We just wanted to send a note of abundant thanks and good wishes to The LEAD Project!  We were most fortunate to participate in the PhilanthroFair II in October 2010, and from that we, indeed, got connected with several new young professional volunteers who have been a huge help to us---using their legal, graphic design, project organizing, communications, and other key skill sets to benefit our small non-profit!  

Reach Out and Read partners with pediatrics and family medicine clinics, serving  disadvantaged communities, to promote the importance of parent-child &quot;book-sharing&quot; and story-telling, starting in the infant and toddler years, a period of critically important brain development for young children.  Every child goes home from his or her check-up visit with a new book, along with tips for parents on developmentally appropriate ways to read aloud.  Despite the tough economy, we are going strong as we enter our new fiscal year, thanks in large part to the help we have received from The LEAD Project!   Keep an eye out for our Fall 2011 Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast Event, and if there are volunteers interested in joining our event committee---please zap us an email!

		<description>I recently submitted our organization&#039;s information to LEAD but am not sure what happens next.  We would have loved to have been included in PhilanthroFair but were not selected.  Can you tell me if there is something we can do or more information we can provide that would enhance our chances of being included in the next PhilanthroFair?  
Also, besides this event, are there any other opportunities for Vail Place to partner with LEAD?
Thanks
