Hello everyone,

I hope you are enjoying this lovely start to Fall. I have 4 quick things for you today!

1) Due to popular demand, we are excited to announce the re-launch of the RAD swag campaign! You can get yourself a snazzy RAD t-shirt, cozy sweatshirt, and more at this link right here. Anyone can place an order until Oct 2nd, and items will be shipped out mid-October.

2) Last week, our NCC Coordinator, Jade Gabos, along with the NCC Committee hosted a terrific volunteer luncheon. We were thrilled to see around 60 people in attendance, and a good time was had by all!

3) Yesterday, our SC Director, Stacy Penaranda, and the SC Committee officially cut the ribbon to our new office in Georgetown! We were pleased to be joined by many volunteers, Georgetown Mayor Bill West, State Rep. Ruth Briggs King, State Sen. Brian Pettyjohn, our board chair Jeanne Brennan, and Son-Djerry Cameus from Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester's office.

4) Also, yesterday, our Bilingual Outreach Coordinator, Maydelis Gomez-Samon, kicked off another in-person LENA Start course at the Georgetown Library. It was great to see so many families! Over the next 10 weeks, these families will learn strategies for incorporating more daily talk into their everyday routine with their child. Happy to have served over 150 families in English and Spanish with this terrific program!

Thanks,
James Spadola
