Our first event in Mar 2023 was so successful, that the men asked if we could do it more often. We decided to do two events in the 23/24 school year. Enjoy looking at a few photos of those who showed up. Creating community amongst the men themselves was a huge factor in its success!

In Feb 2024, we opened up Real Men Read to include women and had our wildly successful Read to Me. Check out this small sample of the magic that happened that day.
