Extractions: [April 16, 2004] Vermont Schools, Libraries, Nonprofits Reap Harvest of Books From the Verizon Season's Readings Program SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt., April 16 /PRNewswire/ Schools, libraries and nonprofit organizations in Vermont are reaping the results of a month-long drive by Verizon employees who collected 489 new and gently used books. The harvest of books is the result of Season's Readings, Verizon's third annual national book drive and reading campaign conducted at company sites in December. Employees donated 192 books to H.O. Wheeler School in the Old North End of Burlington enough so each student received a new book. The remaining books were donated to Burlington's Fletcher Free Library holiday book drive where they were redistributed to local agencies including COTS, King Street Youth Center, Sara Holbrook Center and the VNA Family Room. Employees and their families in Vermont also pledged 7,650 minutes (128 hours) to read to their children or others at local literacy centers, libraries, schools and other organizations throughout the coming year. Since the program began, the company's employees nationwide have collected and donated about 767,000 books and pledged more than 110,000 hours of reading time, including more than 578,000 books and about 43,000 hours during the recent campaign. "Year after year, our employee participation in Season's Readings continues to be outstanding," said Pamela Porell, vice president for Verizon Vermont. "Their efforts reflect our commitment to be this country's literacy champion. The books our employees have collected and their pledges to read to children will make a real and lasting impact."

Extractions: Like many growing businesses, The Richard A. Snelling Center for Government believes strongly in the benefits its products bring to the population at large.

Richard Snelling, who died in office in August 1991, The Snelling Center for Government is a non-profit, non-partisan public policy institute. Its mission is to promote better understanding of government, broader citizen participation in government, and improved administration at the state and local levels. Jan Eastman leads The Richard A.

"The memorial committee wanted something that would touch people more than just a building or a park," she says of its 1992 inception.

Extractions: On 11/21, a group of local school children came with their teacher to tour the IMC. The teacher said that the kids had been watching the news about the protests and were filled with questions. She said she thought the best thing to do would be to bring them to where the people actually involved were so that they could talk to them and form their own opinions. IMC volunteers gave a tour, showed the kids the website and answered questions. Everyone was elated by the experience, both children and Imcistas alike.
