After several delays and date changes, we could finally enjoy an evening with Delia Owens. Her keynote was terrific! You can watch it by clicking the video below.
She also spent time doing a Q&A and signed copies of Where the Crawdads Sing.
The Fund-A-Need auction raised over $37,000!
If you were there, THANK YOU! There is still an opportunity to contribute by clicking the button below.
Thank you all for helping us fulfill our mission to transform lives and communities through the power of literacy and our vision of a just and equitable community in which literacy is accessible and achievable by all!
Please watch our NEW video, which we premiered during the event
Thanks to our ESOL tutor Anne Dachowski for giving her testimonial to Mountain Xpress! Anne has been a tutor for 17 years. We appreciate you! Thanks, Mountain Xpress, for your continuous support!
"When my schedule opened up 17 years ago, calling up Literacy Together was one of the first things I did. My initial motivation was to give back. My grandfather and great-grandparents came to Philadelphia from Poland knowing no English, and people helped them. I wanted to return the favor."
Thanks to our friends at Family Support Network - Mission Health for helping us to spread the word about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library! They'll distribute the registration forms in all the areas they cover, including NICU, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Pediatric Unit, Pediatric Emergency Department, Children's Psychiatric Unit, and Reuter, their outpatient clinic. THANK YOU!
The Imagination Library puts books into the hands and hearts of children worldwide. We're now mailing a free book each month to over 4,800 registered children in Buncombe County.
We want to thank AVL Today for continuing to feature our online volunteer orientation meetings in its daily newsletters :)
THANK YOU to all who have donated items from our Amazon Wishlist!
Many potential volunteers find out about us from Volunteer Match, and the more awesome reviews we have on the site, the better! If you are a tutor and could take a few minutes to submit a review here, you'd be helping us recruit more volunteer tutors, and we'll be very grateful. Thanks in advance! Below is what one of ESOL our tutors said about volunteering with us!
