Spread some Holiday Cheer

The OLC will be on break for the holiday season, and we will reconvene on January 10th, 2010 to discuss The Book of Night Women by Marlon James.

In the meantime, please consider participating in the Winter Wishes program organized by New York Cares, New York’s largest volunteer organization.

The program works like this: I will send you a handwritten letter from an underprivileged New York child who might not otherwise receive a present this season. You take the letter and buy the toy or gift requested, wrap it and I collect it from you and arrange to have it delivered to the child in time for Christmas. The gifts requested generally cost less than $40.


If you are interested, please contact me. Have a wonderful holiday season!
