Character Walk
Description
| On Saturday, August 27, The Franklin County Literacy Council will hold a Family Literacy Walk to support the Path to Literacy from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 am to kick-off the Coyle Free Library’s annual Storytelling Event from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. The Walk starts at Chambers Fort Park. Participants in the Walk may dress as a favorite storybook character and walk to support literacy (or come as you are). Prizes will be awarded for best costume in various age groups. THERE IS NO CHARGE TO WALK! All participants will have a chance to win a book. Why does Franklin County need the Literacy Council? Nearly one in five residents of Franklin County is deficient in basic reading, math and computer skills, which puts the region at a greater risk for poverty, domestic abuse and poor health. Improving literacy helps the economy, lowers healthcare costs, and reduces crime. What is the Franklin County Literacy Council? The Franklin County Literacy Council IU12 program has been empowering adults through literacy since 1985 by providing free one-on-one tutor volunteers for students lacking basic literacy skills in Adult Basic Education (ABE), English as a Second Language (ESL), improved employability skills, (pre-GED tutoring), and citizenship. The FCLC is a non-profit agency501(c) (3) and is part of Lincoln Intermediate Unit 12, an educational service provider. FCLC is funded by donations and grants from community and government organizations (United Way, F&M Bank, PDE), and individual contributors. How can my organization or business help? We are seeking organizations, businesses, and individuals to fund this first time event. Your donation will help us provide a family friendly activity and further promote our council.
