Detroit All Access Meet and Greet
Hey :)
If you were at the ILAA meet and greet and weren’t able to drop-off your book, please e-mail letsgetthisfoundation@gmail.com with “Detroit Meet and Greet” in the subject line.
Unfortunately, the meet and greet was delayed because of weather and eventually caused some folks to not get to the drop-off locations at the venue. We are in the process of getting the location of...

Detroit Rock City but Chi-town wears the crown!
Detroit you came hard. You stepped up. You did like you do. Ka-plow!! The show was revved up like a Ford 150, but of course it had its heavy hearted moments with the passing of MJ. It was an honor to celebrate him in our own way. I have to admit, I was a little weighed down for a bit, but then I was snapped out of it by the awesome crowd. The show must go on. I’m sure Mike would agree. And...

Redemption Code from FirstBook
We got a few e-mails saying that folks that made a donation on Firstbook.org/letsgetthis but didn’t get their redemption code, etc. I’ve made a few donations myself and it works perfectly. So all I can think of is that you might be looking for the code in the e-mail from Firstbook that came after the donation. The redemption code is NOT in the e-mail. The redemption code is in bold red...

Good Night, Gorilla
Hey! Hope you guys enjoyed me and Griffin reading up on some balloons and things:) He’s at that age where he is repeating every other word we say. Its a blast. There is no question that him having books straight out the womb made a huge difference. Every child has a different path and move at different speeds, but its so important that they have the tools to make their own special journey. A...

"Cuz its gonna rain, rain and thunder!"
What is it with rain and the New Kids?! Forget good luck on your wedding day… its good luck every time we start a new chapter. The show last night was exciting and fresh and almost surreal if it was so real- right? It was pouring all afternoon… but that didn’t stop anyone. Especially the volunteers that stood in the rain collecting hundreds of books! Many hundreds- haven’t...

We're on a Mission
For me, like a lot of others, I want to “give back”, but I either don’t know how or I don’t think it will make a difference. Part of Let’s Get This Foundation is learning how to get involved by learning from each other. As we are giving back with different endeavors or “steps”, we can learn from each other and create a forum for all kinds of “good...
