SUMMARY:10.19.17 - Jumpstart’s Read for the Record®
DESCRIPTION:Join the millions of children and adults who’ll be participating in Jumpstart’s Read for the Record® this year! Jumpstart is celebrating the 12th anniversary of its annual campaign\, which gathers over 2 million people together around the world to read the same book on the same day. Read for the Record brings much needed attention to inequities in early childhood education\, inspires adults to read with children\, spurs policymakers and organizations to take action towards transformative change in early education\, and puts books in the hands of children across the country. \nThis year’s campaign book\, Quackers by Liz Wong\, is a wonderful story that follows a kitten who grows up believing he is a duck. This tale is about understanding\, acceptance\, and learning it’s ok to be whoever you want to be. Every year\, Jumpstart produces a special edition of its Read for the Record campaign book that features vocabulary tips\, reading comprehension questions\, and more resources to ‘jumpstart’ a child’s curiosity. Special editions are available in both English and Spanish. \nWe are asking you to add this volunteer opportunity to your calendar for Thursday\, Oct. 19th at 2:00pm at River City Scholars at 944 Evergreen St SE\, Grand Rapids\, MI 49507.  Please contact Mark Johnson or James Eliassen to volunteer.

SUMMARY:10.26.17 - Brian Lennon
DESCRIPTION:Brian Lennon specializes in criminal defense\, particularly Health Care Fraud and other white collar and drug offenses\, corporate internal investigations and compliance matters. As a federal prosecutor in Michigan and Virginia for 15 years and a trial attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Division\, Brian has conducted hundreds of grand jury investigations\, handled a variety of civil cases in U.S. District Courts throughout the country and tried nearly 70 criminal cases to verdict — from drunk driving to complex money-laundering schemes to murder. As Deputy Chief of the Criminal Division for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Western District of Michigan\, Brian supervised the Health Care Fraud and computer-related crimes units\, among others. He also spent four and a half years as a judge advocate for the U.S. Marine Corps\, handling both civil and criminal matters. \nAs a prosecutor\, Brian watched some of the brightest and best-intentioned individuals and companies make poor decisions when they became the subject of an administrative\, civil or criminal investigation.
