Book Fair to Support Foster Youth




Thurber and I made an early morning appearance on Saturday at Barnes & Noble in the Citrus Plaza Shopping Center. The University of Redlands in collaboration with the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools Foster Youth Services were holding a fundraising book fair all day to support the Partnership Project for Academic Success of Youth in Foster Care. We met Terri Griffin who was signing her book "Three's Company"which is a story about foster care and adoption. Throughout the day, patrons could browse for books listening to music from UR students, enter a raffle for prizes, and get their faces painted. We posed for some pictures and met some nice kids. Next stop - Golden Bone awards, then commencement activities.
