Shop for A Cause-- Unemployment Rate and Friday Workshop.....

Today is Macy's Shop for a Cause.  VALF has been giving the discount coupons to those who contribute $5 or more to VALF.  Today Glenda Norvel and Sandy Newell, VALF board members, will be staffing a table for VALF at the Tallahassee Macy's.  Come by and donate $5 to get your coupon from us.  The contributions will go to our grant program.  To learn how you can donate to our grant program, email literacyflorida@hotmail.com.

Today's newspaper reported a 11% unemployment rate for Florida.  Our volunteer literacy program know this means more people without jobs need help with their basic reading skills.  It is bringing more business to our programs while the dollars are shrinking.

Attend Friday's free Fast Track Reading Program on Friday in Leesburg.  To learn more read the earlier posts in this blog.  To register email literacyflorida@hotmail.com today.
