On January 21, 2009, the NYWBA will host its annual Judges' Reception. This year, for the first time, we celebrate not only newly elected and appointed (and re-elected and re-appointed) judges, but Newly Retired judges as well.We are especially pleased to announce that Chief Judge Judith S. Kaye, [pictured right], will join us as a guest and honoree. We have established a perpetual children's book drive in her honor: Judge Judith S. Kaye's Children's Book Club. The books that each of us brings on January 21 will be given to the Harlem Children's Zone .
The Harlem Children's Zone is a wonderful organization with which Judge Kaye has worked in the past. Every book will be distributed to avid young readers with the hope that they will become even more avid older readers one day.Please join us for this special occasion, and please be sure to bring new books for children ages 1 month to 18 years.The invitation is reprinted below.Jo Ann
