Your club can celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday by helping others while having fun at a sock hop or reading at a read-a-thon, or collecting books for children in need. 

Theodor Seuss Geisel, best known by his pen name Dr. Seuss, was born on March 2, 1904. His children's classics include The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Fox in Socks.
