Restating Our Mission...
I just have to say, this poem is perfect for representing T.A.R.A. Club. I would like to thank my Language Arts teacher, Mrs. Sarah Taylor, for teaching us this poem!
There is No Frigate Like a Book
By Emily Dickenson
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll.
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul.

Getting started...
T.A.R.A. Club is FINALLY getting completely started. We are in the process of contacting schools and letting them know about T.A.R.A. Club. Yay! But, we're also beginning to look for volunteers for the March book clubs. If you or someone you know is interested in helping out with leading the book clubs, is between the ages of 13 and 15, and lives in St. Paul or Minneapolis, MN... LET ME KNOW! Really, we need leaders and we only have...One right now, and that's me. So...

Getting started...
My venture, T.A.R.A. Club is FINALLY getting started on everything. We are currently talking with schools to organize the bok clubs. We are also beggining to ask for volunteers for our March book clubs. If you are between the ages of 13 and 15 and live in St. Paul or Minneapolis, MN, let me know! You would be perfect to lead a book club. Especially if you go to a charter school or live in a low class neighborhood. Because, you know... the only requirements we have for the book clubs is that you be age 13-15, be able to attend and lead all four book club sessions and SPEAK ENGLISH! That's it!
