"A lot of people say, 'I can't do this; I can't do that.' But there's no such thing as 'can't.' You have to put your mind to it and apply yourself!"
— Charlie Mae Grant
Friends of Literacy
The "Friends of Literacy" is a group of volunteers who both "fundraise" and "friend-raise" through a variety of special events and programs. They serve as hostesses for our cultivation events; assist the office staff with special projects; and, most significantly, plan and execute special fund raising events.
The Friends have also played an important role in our "House Parties" over the years by opening their homes for parties to introduce their friends and neighbors to Literacy Volunteers. Going one step further, this successful format has been adapted to reach the business community through our annual agency breakfasts.
