How Your Organization Can Get Involved
Plan a book discussion or develop another activity that ties in to the themes of “Florida Roadkill” and schedule it for sometime between October 10 and October 30, 2007.  A list of suggested activities is enclosed to help you get the ball rolling.

Activities Your Organization Might Consider:

• Hold a book discussion
• Lunchtime reading and discussion for employees
• Workplace or community Pot Luck meal renaming your traditional foods with “road kill” titles like buzzard bites, road hash or armadillo wraps
• Your group has a Florida Memories day where everyone brings a memento from a Florida attraction and tells the group a story about it (main character Serge Storms is a fanatic about kitschy Florida souvenirs!)
• Trips to nearest library for a book discussion
• Readers’ Theater: Each participant “plays a role” and reads a particular character’s lines from the book (this is fun, but can take some rehearsal time to be comfortable in front of an audience if you will have one)
• Pick a theme from the book and create your own activity!

Other Participation:

• Provide space for promotional bookmarks provided by the Library System
• Include information in your newsletter or on your website encouraging people to read the book and attend related programs and activities
• Allow us to feature your Web site in our Lee County Reads “Florida Roadkill” virtual scavenger hunt (call Karen at 239-461-2914 for details)
• Help with word-of-mouth promotion of the project – just ask your friends and family to read!
