Hudson Library Teen Volunteer Wins Trip to L.A
Zach Belyea, a 10TH grader at Hudson High School, is the grand prize winner of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Summer Slam Reading Jam! Zach has won an all expenses paid trip for two (Zach’s mother is going with him) to Los Angeles, California to attend the Pay-Per-View Summer Slam event on August 23, plus $200 spending money. In addition, the Friends of the Hudson Library will receive a check from the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) for $1,000 to be used for purchasing library books and materials for teens. Zach has logged more than 500 hours as a teen volunteer at the Hudson Library and is President of the Teen Advisory Board (TAB).
The promotion required that participants checked out books from libraries between June 24th and July 16th and ask for a promotional WWE mini-poster. Each mini-poster had an identifying number to be used for the random drawing, which was held July 17. Zach checked the WWE website and was thrilled to learn that his poster’s number had been drawn. Five hundred nationwide libraries took part in the sweepstakes; all libraries in the Pasco County Library System participated.
