 This event is past.

The official Compassionate Kids^SM event for the month of June 2005 is a Compassionate Book Sharing Event at the Barnes & Noble Southlake in Morrow, Georgia (a South Atlanta suburb).

BRING A BOOK

All participants are encouraged to bring a favorite compassion-oriented book to share with the group (making sure it is clearly marked with your name before entering the store). Each child and adult will have the opportunity to speak to the group about one book. Please be prepared to have you and/or each child say the title and author of the book, along with a brief description of what was great about it. Shy people will not be required to speak.

BOOK SUGGESTION

Having trouble thinking of compassion-oriented books? Check out our newly expanded web page of recommended books and other media.

AGE RANGES

The event will be broken down into age-appropriate sections so that very young children may go home early and teenagers won't have to sit through preschool book recommendations:

7:00 to 7:30 PM - Under Age Six
7:30 to 8:00 PM - Ages Six through Twelve
8:00 to 8:30 PM - Teens and Up

The first group will have a story read at the beginning of the event.

WEEK LONG BOOK FAIR - June 28 through July 4, 2005

In booking this event, we learned that Barnes & Noble offers book fairs to raise funds for non-profit organizations. We have arranged for a Compassionate Kids book fair beginning on the day of the event, Tuesday June 28, and ending a week later on Monday, July 4. A percentage of each Compassionate Kids sale during that week will go to support our operating costs. Please PRINT THE BOOK FAIR VOUCHER and present it at the time you make your purchases. If anyone is feeling particularly charitable, we would be most grateful if you would please share this voucher with anyone and everyone you know who may make a purchase at the Morrow Barnes & Noble during this time frame. Click here to get voucher document with three vouchers on a page.

COST

There is no cost for this event (at least for those of you who can make it out of a bookstore without spending any money)!

RSVP

Please RSVP using our online form at www.compassionatekids.com/rsvp.html. If you know what book(s) you will be sharing with the group, it would be very helpful for you to list them on the RSVP form. This will enable us to compile a list of recommended books to hand out at the event. In addition, Barnes & Noble will try to have the books available if we can give them enough notice, so please RSVP as soon as possible with your book choice(s).

MEETING LOCATION

We will meet in the story time area of the kids' section at the back of the store. Storytime will begin promptly, so please arrive a few minutes early.

LOCAL RESTAURANTS

For anyone interested in dining before or after this event, there are numerous dining establishments on Mount Zion Road.

COME PREPARED

Remember to print your voucher before leaving home, and remember to mark your name in your book before entering the store.
