I went to Landmark yesterday. They said it was Book Day and gave me this plant. The back of the card identifies the source as “Hippocampus Reading Foundation.” It says “The Hippocampus Reading Foundation is a non-profit organization working to foster the reading habit among kids, especially those who are financially less fortunate. Our goal is to get 50,000 under privileged kids to read at least one book every week. This we hope to do over a period of three years.
“For more information, please contact Deborah Gonsalves at 5110 1927 or 98458 68263, or debi@thehippocampus.com”
Suddenly I feel guilty about my huge unread backlog.
Mom’s quite delighted with the plant. She doesn’t have this species in her collection. “How nice of them,” she said. Mom has a long-standing policy at her school of never giving cut flowers, only live saplings.
