The Reading is Fundamental (RIF) program supports children's literacy programs across Canada, with corporate support from Holiday Inn Express hotels. Our own Family Literacy Program, based at the Dawe Branch, was pleased to receive 300 children's books for its programs from RIF. Further financial support for our program will be coming from our local Holiday Inn Express. Here's more information from RIF: "Reading is Fundamental is the nation's oldest and largest nonprofit children's literacy organization, with a focus on underserved children from birth to age eight. Holiday Inn Express supports and encourages children to get a smart start in education by raising awareness about literacy and donating books and resources directly to our local RIF program. Helping children learn is smart for all of us." How can you help? Get your car washed at the Holiday Inn Express at 2803-50 Avenue from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. this Saturday or Sunday, July 7 and 8. Proceeds will go to the Family Literacy Program. |
