With the $1,000 that MFR donated to Mountain Reads, combined with donations from other local Rotary groups, they will be able to receive $7,000 total in matching Rotary grant funds.  The group is very excited and will able to purchase a lot of text books with this money.

 If anyone would like to become a reading tutor and take the literacy training, the next tutor training begins Thursday May 15th at the Ravenswood's building (it's where Drive Smart is) located at 28677 Buffalo Park Road.  The training is from 4:30 to 6:30P & they meet once a month; usually on the 2nd Thursday of the month for 5 sessions.  If you do volunteer, please let me know as well.

 Mountain Reads has begun steps of moving towards adding tutoring towards math & GED.
