(April 6, 2018) – Washtenaw Literacy, a non-profit organization dedicated to ending adult illiteracy, is now taking reservations for the Support Literacy Now! luncheon scheduled for May 31 at the Morris Lawrence Building at Washtenaw Community College. Participants will hear first-hand about the impact illiteracy can have on achieving employment and life goals, and improving community and family life.
H. Luke Shaefer, Ph.D, the director of Poverty Solutions at the University of Michigan, and a co-author of $2 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America will join adult literacy learners and officials from the agency to provide a truly inspiring program.
While the luncheon begins at noon, attendees are encouraged to arrive at 11:30 a.m. to network with area leaders and learn how to help end adult illiteracy. The luncheon closes with an opportunity to provide a personal pledge.
