Volunteers offer gift of literacy

The gift of literacy is a gift of a future. For many people reading a street sign, a food packaging label, or a prescription bottle is difficult, if not impossible. The consequences of a misinterpretation can be not only unfortunate but disastrous.

In March of each year the Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley holds its one major fundraiser of the year. The goal of this organization, and thus the fundraiser, is to facilitate a way for people to learn English as a second language. The results of this vocation speak for themselves. The difference the LVFV makes in individuals' lives is incalculable.

On behalf of the Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley and the board of directors, I would like to personally thank each of the volunteers that helped in the planning, organization and implementation, for your recent contributions to the Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley Trivia Bee. This event could not have been a success without your help. Your donation of time, effort and talent is most appreciated.
