BRA Bowling

Making a charitable contribution is always nicer when you get an immediate return, flowers for mother's day or a couple hours of bowling. Lucky Strike at Jillian’s is holding a book drive tonight to benefit ReadBoston’s program. For $10 and a new children’s book (might we recommend Make Way for Ducklings) or $15 without a book you’ll get unlimited frames and shoe rental from 6 pm to 8 pm. Ok, so it won’t be candlepin bowling, which we certainly prefer, but it still is for a good cause. The JFK School's Robert Putnam might not even fault you for going alone. The Boston Redevelopment Authority sponsors literacy events all over Boston each year—with a focus on the summer months. ReadBoston runs a Storymobile making stops at over 75 locations throughout the summer. Fortunately it’s not driven by a chickenf…uh, chickenlover.
