Get Lit 2009

Sincere thanks to everyone who attended and supported the 4th  annual Get Lit event. Special thanks to our stellar readers for their time and support.

This year, despite the recession, we raised more invaluable funds for the Running & Reading Clubs. We are proud to continue our support of Canadian children who need it the most.

A link to photos from the event and the book list are below. The next Get Lit event will be held in the Spring of 2011. Details to follow.
