Volunteer Literacy Luncheon
I want to thank all of you once again for the work you do by volunteering your time toward eradicating illiteracy in our county.  The turnout on May 1st for our Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon was extremely gratifying with plenty of time for socializing and getting to know one another.  For those of you who were unable to attend, we want to extend our deep appreciation for the job you are accomplishing!  We were so pleased to have 50 guests, and we will strive for 100% turnout next year! 

Thank you again for all you do.
