Sandy Springs Reads Event: SoAR

Sandy Springs Reads, Sandy Springs’ first annual “One Book, One City” series of events, aims to promote literacy while building a sense of community.  Sandy Springs Reads events will engage community members in discussions and activities around a common book. 

The 2012 book selection is Homer Hickam's autobiographical work, Rocket Boys.

During this all ages event, Jorge Blanco, President of SoAR (a chartered section of the National Association of Rocketry), will reveal the treasures left behind when Apollo astronauts departed the moon. Also, witness SoAR’s water rocket launch and learn how you can get involved in local rocket clubs.
