It’s been a few weeks but that doesn’t mean we’ve been resting on our laurels. A few of us trekked to the Creation Entertainment Salute to Firefly/Serenity in November and brought back some shiny items for auction and door prizes.
This week we’re announcing an item that’s near and dear to one of our organizer’s heart. We have autographed copies of books 1, 2, 3 and 4 in PJ Haarsma’s The Softwire series. The Softwire is a sci-fi series written for young adults (10 and up) but is also a great read for the young-at-heart. The books also have a companion role-playing game titled the Rings of Orbis.
PJ is one of the founders, along with our beloved Cap’t Tightpants (Nathan Fillion), of Kids Need to Read.
Kids Need to Read is a national nonprofit charity focusing on promoting childhood literacy and addressing the deplorable state of library funding that currently exists in the United States. Donating exciting, new books to schools, public libraries, health clinics and shelters in need, the foundation works to develop a lifelong love of reading in all children.

Note: The proceeds from monies raised through the auction of PJ’s books, the KNTR Terrify’n Space Monkey, and the SDCC 2008 Serenity Better Days Variant Comic will be donated to Kids Need to Read. Look for these items on a separate table than the CSTS/WEAC silent auction items.
