SPECIAL EVENTS
COMMUNITY PROJECT:
Reading is Fundamental (RIF) is a
government-sponsored project in which volunteers go into local schools to read
to students and give them books to take home. Often these are the first
books the students have ever owned.
Members interested in participating in RIF may contact either of the co-chairs.
As a participant you might be asked to read to the children, to help each of the
children select a book, or to bake cookies for the refreshment portion of the
program. RIF Co-chairs are Rosemary Leas
rleas308@tampabay.rr.com
and Catherine Fischer - cathfisch@aol.com.
