THE READING CONNECTION

HOORAY! BABYCAKES will be a "featured restaurant" at the Of Wines and Words fundraiser to benefit The Reading Connection. It's a spectacular evening filled with wine tastings, delicious food, and a silent auction, not to be missed!

The Reading Connection is dedicated to helping at-risk families throughout the DC metro area create environments that encourage family reading. For over twenty-one years, The Reading Connection has been reaching out through volunteer readers, training programs for parents and family support workers, and a book club to expose at-risk families and children to books and encourage them to spend more time reading.  Over the past year, TRC volunteers and staff read to over 700 children, provided 40 parent training workshops, and gave away over 7,500 new books to children in housing crisis.

Now, THAT is bad ass. And, I couldn't be happier or more excited to donate my time and BABYCAKES to the cause! The event is scheduled for Friday March 25th at the Boeing Company in Arlington (6:30-10pm). More info (how/where to get tickets) to come!

Now, literary themed cupcakes? WHERE, oh where to begin....

"There are many little ways to enlarge your child's world. Lots of books is the best of all." Jacqueline Kennedy
