Read Across America




There are two opportunities to volunteer with the literacy council in March, and both involve the celebration of our favorite children's book author, Dr. Seuss!

This year, the LIU12 Franklin County Literacy Council decided to have two events for their annual Read Across America celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday-- an early evening birthday party (including cake and games) at the center court in the Chambersburg Mall and their usual Green Eggs and Ham breakfast at Bonanza in the Chambersburg Mall.

If you remember my post about my first community event, the Literacy Carnival, you may also remember that I said one of the reasons it was such a success was because of the dedicated Ship volunteers who helped. The FCLC needs volunteers for this event as well! We're looking for volunteers for both Friday evening and Saturday morning. I can take interested volunteers to and from the event, so don't let a lack of reliable transportation keep you from joining us. Although the flyers say the events are from 4:30-6 and 8:30-12:30, for your personal scheduling plan to stay from 4-7 and 8-1 for set-up and clean-up.

If you are able and willing to volunteer, email me at fclcvista@gmail.com so we can work out the details. This event is a great way to meet individuals from the literacy council, learn more information about what we do, and spend an evening and/or a morning creating excitement about childhood and family literacy!

Feel free to email me with questions.
