The Valley Community Learning Association is hosting its annual fund raising event, the Literacy Mile. The Literacy Mile is an opportunity to raise awareness of and support for the literacy needs of Annapolis Valley residents.
There will be hot dogs and refreshments for sale, live music, a silent auction, and activities for the whole family.
During this event we will be celebrating the accomplishments of our learners and recognizing the community support, financial and in-kind, that we have received throughout the year.
We would like to invite everyone to gather at the Learning Centre and then walk a mile for literacy. Walkers will have a chance to chalk their donations on the sidewalks. Donations from businesses and organizations will be marked in chalk as well.
The Valley Community Learning Association is a non-profit organization that helps adults achieve their personal learning goals. Beginning in Kings County in 1989 as the Kings County Learning Association, we now provide a forum for learners, community groups, instructors, tutors, publicly funded agencies and businesses to enhance the literacy levels of our fellow community members and new immigrants in both Kings and Annapolis counties.
For a small organization, the VCLA is having a major impact on the lives and futures of many Valley residents. In the last year, over 350 learners participated in our diverse programs. Volunteer tutors worked one on one and in small groups, helping people study for their GED so they can find work, improve literacy skills so they can keep their job, read to their children, study the Drivers Handbook to be able to get their driver's license, or just be able to read their own mail.
Pledge sheets are available at our office for those who would like to collect pledges for the Literacy Mile walk. Money raised from our Literacy Mile event will go towards the purchase of materials and resources for our learners as well as addressing their needs.
Come and be a part of the excitement! For further information, call or email us.
