Our Literacy and Education Committee is flourishing thanks to our generous members!
- Literacy: to encourage and support children's literacy. Our desire is to get classical and conservative reading materials into the hands of children. This is accomplished by donating age-appropriate books where there is a need - from school libraries to preschools to home school organizations.
- Education: We'll be using a few minutes of each meeting to discuss an important theme which are backed up with factual sources. We're also happy to provide you with online resources to equip you with facts and reliable information.
Information is powerful. Let's commit to being well-informed!
