We are wrapping up 2011 and it is coming faster than many of us would like to admit. The two biggest seasons of the year are almost upon us, Thanksgiving and Christmas. During these times we celebrate with friends and family. All around us, though, are people in need. It is this need that gave me an idea.For the month of November I’m challenging you, our readers, friends, family, and customers alike to. . . READ. How will reading help, you might be asking. Think of it as a charitable book reading club. We would ask that you pick from the small reading list below and tell us that you are joining the Feed the Need with a Read challenge. Then tell us on Facebook, by mail, by email, by phone even, or come into the shop, that you have joined. When you tell us you are joining the reading challenge Pete and Freddy’s will donate $1.00 for each person to the Helping Hands Food Pantry in Mentone. By reading you’re helping those in need to have a more tangible holiday season. We want to help while enjoying a good read!
In our next issue we hope to feature you, the readers, with book reviews, comments, articles or thoughts that you had while participating. If we have a good turnout, we will have a movie night at the shop. We encourage you to not limit yourself to one book. Please feel free to share this opportunity with your friends and family as well. Join us!
