Please take a look at Capital Gazette journalist Sharon Tegler’s recap of our 2018 Appreciation Dinner http://www.capitalgazette.com/neighborhoods/ac-cm-around-the-park-0510-story.html. Sharon attended this year’s program, personally interviewed students and tutors, then shared her observations in her weekly Around the Park column.

Sharon also posted pictures of the evening on Facebook and wrote the following: “With most of its 250 reading and math tutors and volunteers and an equal number of students and their families in attendance, the Anne Arundel County Literacy Council Appreciation Dinner was an amazing occasion.
