August-September 2010 Issue
Greetings!

Liberation Through Education had an enjoyable and productive summer, which gave way to an outstanding start to the 2010-2011 School Year, and an out-of-this-world special event!

On August 2nd, a large group of LTE supporters gathered at Zephyrs Stadium to watch the New Orleans Zephyrs take on the Albuquerque Isotopes.

In mid-August, LTE kids started a brand new school year, and we began our third year of programming to help them achieve a harmonious social-academic balance.

On September 2nd, we hosted a patron party in recognition and celebration of our supporters.

On September 11th, we enjoyed "Une Nuit de Magie", and WOW... was it something magical!

Many dates. Many events. And many more to come!
Liberation Through Education has much and many to be thankful for.
The New Orleans Zephyrs Get the W
Zephrys
The New Orleans Zephyrs deserve props! The organization generously donated to LTE 70 tickets to their August 2nd home game against the Albuquerque Isotopes! As an added bonus, the team gave our crew a lot to cheer about, pulling off an impressive 10-1 win! Way to go guys!




Visit the New Orleans Zephyrs for their game schedule and results, ticket purchasing and reserved seating, news and upcoming events, and more!

A Prelude to "Une Nuit de Magie" - The Patron Party

LTE honored its wonderful patrons and sponsors with a Patron Party on September 2nd.

Books,Books,Books - OVER 5,400 BOOKS!

Thanks to the collaborative efforts of Cita Dennis Hubbell Public Library, Algiers Regional Library, Desire Street Ministries, and Youth Rescue Initiative, Liberation Through Education received over 5,400 books from last month's Power Through Reading Book Drive!

Power Through Reading is a project facilitated by Youth Rescue Initiative to promote reading as a tool for empowering our city's youth.

On Saturday, October 30th, LTE will once again team up with YRI and with Borders Bookstore to get these books where they belong - into the hands of children!

In commemoration of National Family Literacy Day on November 1st, 100s of books will be given away to families, and children will be welcome to enjoy age-appropriate "Breakfast(free) with Books" sessions scheduled throughout the day.

Vouchers for this event will be distributed via mail and email. One voucher per family is required for up to 6 FREE books. No purchase is required to receive FREE books or to attend the "Breakfast(free) with Books sessions. However, vouchers presented with purchases earn funds for LTE!
