RISE!

Reading IS Essential “Real Men Read Program”
&
Responsibility IS Expected “Manhood Conference”
* 1 District * 1 Day * 100 Men *

Greetings Men,
(Ladies, your help is definitely needed; for now please forward this to the men you believe will be a blessing and be blessed by this program.)
It gives me great joy to invite you to participate in a life-changing program that will inspire and encourage the students, the parents, teachers and administrators of the School District of the City of York. We are calling for 100 men to volunteer to go into the elementary and middle schools of York City to read and share with the students. The goal is to simply show a male presence in the schools and community and to set an example of educational excellence set through the power of reading.  Please see the information below and the registration form attached.
I understand that in these economical times it is a sacrifice to miss a few hours of work, but I have participated in a similar program in the past and I assure you, the smiles on the faces of those young people are priceless. Return your registration form ASAP as we anticipate a huge response. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Greetings, 
The RISE/Manhood Conference (1District, 1 Day, 100 Men) is Tuesday, October 25, 2011 from 7:30am to 4:30pm in York, PA. It will consist of men reading to Elementary and Middle school students in the School District of the City of York from 8:30am to 11:30am. The men will then have the option of attending a luncheon and manhood conference which will feature panel presentations and break out groups on Fatherhood, Spirituality, Finances, Education, Athletics, Mentoring and more.

Part 1 – Reading IS Essential: Men will meet at (the predetermined location) at 7:30am for a brief orientation, group picture and continental breakfast. All men who plan to read at the schools must attend the orientation/group picture. Readers will receive quick tips for effective interaction with the students along with their books and classroom assignments. Readers will know in advance what school they will visit, but no reader may go directly to the school.

Each reader will spend 25 minutes with 3 separate groups of students.  The readers will move from room to room with the students staying in the same room. During the visit, readers can share from a couple of books, talk about what they do for a living, and encourage the students to do well in school.  Entertaining stories that address responsibility, integrity, morals and positive character development will be chosen.
Below is a schedule of the morning:
