Record-A-Thon
Thursday, April 10 thru Wednesday, April 16
9,800 hours...we’re 63% of the way!
Jessie is making good progress on her way to scaling the 9,800 hours to her diploma. Despite a couple of ice and snow storms, you managed to crank out 823 hours in February.That makes it the second most productive month this calendar year! Keep up the good work!
And of course, the least glamorous, but crucial part of the process is checking. We don’t get credit for the reading until it is checked, corrected and SMiL’d. If you’re checking, please don’t get bogged down in the story (oh, those Math books have great plots). We should be checking:
1) The beginning & end of the file 2) The page mark and announcement 3) One figure per reader 4) One footnote per reader 5) Reader changes 6) All edits.

Bring in your unwanted books for our Book Sale
Do you have any used books taking up space? Bring them to the studio for our Record-A-Thon Book Sale. We’ll sell them for $1 a book. The proceeds will go to the Unit. And since you’ll have cleared some shelf space, buy a few of your fellow volunteers’ old books.
Simply bring your books to Michelle Ioselevich (preferably before April 10) and enjoy a little less clutter.
