Sometime later in the Winter of 2012, Nick and Evan will be holding a book drive benefitting Joplin, Missouri, who was wrecked by a tornado in March of 2011 and is still recovering.

If you are able to bring in three (3) new or gently used childrens' or elementary school level books, you will be able to dress down.

Also, during snack time of the week the book drive is held, teachers will read aloud to kids in the Community Room while Baked Goods are being sold, profits also benefitting the damage of the tornado that struck Joplin in the Spring of 2011.
