Some of you may know that I have been involved as a literacy tutor over at the Oak View library, and for the past 2 years I've served on the Board of Directors for the program. In my role as director, one of my responsibilities is to assist with fundraising. So I thought I'd get the word out about an event we're having on October 25th at 7PM - a Trivia Challenge over at the Central Library. 10 local teams will be competing, and we'd love to have a full house there to watch them. Best of all, the event is FREE. We just want a good turnout for our contestants who are making a donation to play. There will also be great opportunity drawings. It promises to be fun.
This is also a great time for me to let people know that we always need volunteers for the program. The time commitment is a few hours per week, and you can work the specifics out with your student. So if you've been looking for a way to get involved in the community, please contact the program for more information. (Tutor training is provided periodically throughout the year, and there is a class coming up)
Finally, you can help our programs out without even leaving your computer. Do you buy books? appliances? car exhaust systems or a million other on-line items? If you buy anything from amazon.com and start your search through this link on the right, a percentage of your purchase will go to our programs. It costs you nothing extra and helps us out in a big way. If you do support Literacy Volunteers in this way, thank you very much!
