Making Moves

News

November has been a busy month for authors Ramona and Lathanise Moscatello. With one book signing at Hastings Bookstore in Lawton Oklahoma already under their belt, there are 2 more planned. The next book signing events will be held at Ft Sill, Oklahoma on 26 November 2010, from 1-3pm at the post main exchange and the very next day in Altus, Oklahoma, on 27 November 2010, from 1-3pm at Altus Air Force Base main base exchange.  $1.00 from each book sold at both of these events will go to benefit Homes For Our Troops, a national non-profit organization, that builds specially adapted housing for returning injured Veterans. "Bee" sure to mark your calendars with the dates mentioned above and come out to meet the authors and show your support for Homes For Our Troops!

For our family, friends and fans who may not be available to attend either book signing event, Aerola's Big Trip is also available for purchase on the web by visiting http://www.aerolabombus.com/aerolas-store.html

Behind the Scenes

We wanted to take a moment to let all our family, fans, and friends know about what has been going on behind the scenes. This has been a busy and exciting week indeed. We learned that news of the book and the blog have gone global (India, Russia, South Korea, France, Germany, UK, China, etc. etc) and we are overwhelmed and humbled by the notion that people from around the globe have taken an interest. We appreciate all the support we have recieved so far and are truly blessed to be given this opportunity to bring such a wonderful educational book to the masses.  With that said, we wanted to give everyone that has been following an update by catergory.

Book Signings

We have managed to secure our first book signing event at Atlanta Bread Company in Lawton Oklahoma on October 19th from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. Our second book signing, will be done at Hastings Book Store in Lawton Oklahoma on November 6th from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. In addition to the book signing, Aerola's Big Trip can now be found on the bookshelves of Hastings in Lawton Oklahoma.

Fundraising

Previously, we announced that Lawton Public Schools have approved us to approach their schools about fundraising. Currently, the Dallas ISD is reviewing our same proposal. In addition to that exciting news, the children's previous daycare has decided to participate in our fundraiser. Of course our fundraising agreement is in place with Homes For Our Troops. All fundraisers have the same premise and that is that the authors will donate $1 for each copy of the book purchased to the participating organization. That is our way of giving back and teaching our children about social responsibility. To find out more about Homes for Our Troops or how to participate in our fundraiser, click on the fundraising tab on this blog.

Supporters

We would like to say thank you to each individual who has purchased a copy of Aerola's Big Trip and ask that you ask others to do the same. We would also like to thank Ms. Jenny, the childrens gymnastics teacher who has decided to help us promote the book at her gym and the Johnson and Smith Family at L.A.A.S who have also been helping us promote the book.

We truly believe that our initial success is attributed to everyone that has supported us and for that we are truly grateful. We look forward to everyone's continued support for this book and the future books in the Aerola Bombus series.
