Director’s Message August 2019

Please take a moment to “meet” Iris and Bryan, two of our inspirational students. Our students reach out for help with their literacy and math skills to achieve goals of landing a job/better-paying job, earning their GED, and improving their daily lives. Reading a bedtime story to your child, understanding warning labels on your children’s prescriptions, and balancing a checkbook are a few of the practical daily activities that adults master when improving their literacy and math skills.

If you have a passion for reading or math, are a lifelong learner, and want to make a positive difference in another person’s life and in your community, please contact AACLC by calling 410-269-4419 or emailing director@aaclc.org and be trained as a volunteer tutor. Information on our October 5th tutor training opportunity is HERE.

October 19th is our 2019 Annual Literacy Lights the Way 5K Family Walk-a-thon. This year, we want walkathon registrants to either register directly on our regular Donate page on our website (https://icanread.org/donate-to-the-literacy-council/), or they can print out our brochure and mail their form and registration to our P.O. Box 1303 Edgewater, MD 21037 address.
