Vote for Your Favorite Scholastic Classic and The UPS Store will send that same title to Toys for Tots for a less fortunate child.

Today The UPS Store® launches Vote for Your Favorite Scholastic Classic, aimed to raise literacy awareness and support for the Toys for Tots Literacy Program, an effort dedicated to providing our nation’s most economically disadvantaged children the ability to compete academically and succeed in life.
Through Dec. 15, people can visit the Toys for Tots Facebook page to vote for their favorite of six classic childhood titles from Scholastic – The Secret Garden, Make Way for Ducklings, Charlotte’s Web, Stone Soup, The Tale of Peter Rabbit and Three Little Pigs. For every vote, The UPS Store will purchase that same book for a child in need, up to $10,000 worth of books.

Trade package will decrease red tape; promote more efficient supply chains

After years of debate and compromise, the World Trade Organization (WTO) successfully delivered a trade package at the WTO’s 9th Ministerial Conference, reconfirming the organization’s ability to serve as a forum for negotiation of global trade rules.
