2nd Annual Beers for Books Halloween Fundraiser @ Lavaca St. Bar in Austin

Join the fun folks of the Room to Read Austin Chapter for their 2nd Annual Beers for Books Halloween fundraiser! Last year was a smash success with over 1000 books funded at Lavaca Street Bar. They're doing it again this year and I'm sure it will be a blast.

For those of you new to B4B, the concept is simple: For every beer you have $1.00 will be donated to Room to Read and that buys one treasured local-language book for kids in places like Nepal, Vietnam, South Africa, etc. Have a beer, create a book!

Room to Read is an amazing NPO whose mission is to provide quality educational opportunities to children in developing countries with the goal of empowering kids via literacy and gender equality in education. Room to Read has projects in 9 countries in Asia and Africa including Nepal, Cambodia, Zambia, etc. For more details see www.roomtoread.org or in Japanese www.roomtoread.jp.

Don't forget to come out in your best Halloween costume and be prepared to win some prizes in the raffle drawing. Last year the grand prize was an autographed Mack Brown football and this year's event will have one too along with a bunch of other great prizes.

The costume contest winners will be chosen around 11:30pm and the raffle will end at midnight.
