Children's reading event April 25

DOWNEY - A children's reading event will be held at the Downey Memorial Christian Church parking lot April 25 from 10 a.m. to noon. Children in grades 3-6 will read an age-appropriate book - as chosen by the Downey City Library - for 5-10 minutes and then pass off it off to another child until the book is finished. Downey resident Shirley Johnson is organizing the event, which is done in association with the annual Walk the Talk Against Child Abuse. To sign up for the reading event, call Johnson at (562) 862-2378.********** Published: March 27, 2009 - Volume 7 - Issue 49
