Chicago Wolves News Release
On Mon., Nov. 24, Chicago Wolves defenseman Joe DiPenta will visit the Alsip-Merrionette Park Public Library, 11960 S. Pulaski Rd., at 4:30 p.m., and the Justice Public Library, 7641 Oak Grove Ave., at 6:30 p.m., as part of the team's "Read to Succeed" program, which has reached nearly 300,000 children in nine seasons.
DiPenta will discuss the importance of recreational reading; dress a child in Wolves hockey gear; raffle Wolves prizes; and sign autographs.
The program, sponsored by Fisher Nuts, encourages children to spend more time reading at the library and for recreation. Every participant in the program sets an individual reading goal and has the opportunity to achieve incentive prizes such as Wolves watches, "Read to Succeed" pucks and game tickets for reaching his or her reading goals.
The Wolves work with the DuPage, North Suburban and Suburban Library Systems and their participating libraries, reaching more than 30,000 kids each year. Members of the Chicago Wolves will visit more than 40 libraries throughout the Chicago area this season.
