Book 'Em Foundation

I am a police officer who cares about the future of the world. I believe that an educated society will commit fewer crimes and overall, society will improve the better educated we are.I'm the co-founder and current President of the Book 'Em Foundation. We will host the 4th Annual Book 'Em Literacy event on October 20, 2007 in Waynesboro, Virginia.Book 'Em is a book fair with 50 or more authors present. You have the opportunity to meet them, talk to them and to purchase autographed books. Admission is FREE and this includes admission to the dozens of talks and workshops the authors will put on during the day. See the Book 'Em website at www.bookemfoundation.org for more information on the day's activities.We are working on expanding Book 'Em around the globe.
