NOTE TO READERSFor more than two decades The Bee has been publishing stories under the name Book of Dreams to let you know about people and non-profit groups that could use some help from the community. Readers have responded generously, donating $166,000 last year alone.
This year, the need is even more urgent because of the troubled economy. Nonprofits throughout the community have nominated families, individuals and organizations to be part of the Book of Dreams report. We will tell you about 13 cases during this holiday season.
All contributions will be used to grant holiday wishes to the people and nonprofit groups featured in our Book of Dreams stories. None of the money will be spent on administrative costs. You may donate online or by printing the donation form and mailing it to The Sacramento Bee Book of Dreams Fund, 2100 Q Street, Sacramento, CA 95816. If you have additional questions, please call the Book of Dreams line at 916-556-5667.
We will report back to you in late December to tell you how we fulfilled the dreams.
Thank you for your openhearted support of the Book of Dreams. And enjoy the holiday season.

Managing Editor
