Thanks to our Speakers
In lieu of gifts to our speakers, donations have been made to two organizations that promote literacy across the lifespan: Laubach Literacy Fredericton, Inc. and Born to Read NB.
-
Born to Read NB is a program designed to promote the importance of reading to children from birth. In order to act on this message new parents are presented with a bag of books to read to baby.
-
Laubach Literacy Fredericton, Inc. is a volunteer non-profit organization founded in 1978. Its mission is to raise the literacy level of the people of the Fredericton area through the “Each One Teach One” method.
Both are valuable organizations in our community. Any delegate wishing to make an individual donation is invited to do so at the organizations’ web sites.
