What would you spend on a night out in Greenville? $35? $75? maybe even $150? Instead of going out, the Greenville Literacy Association invites you to stay at home, curl up with a good book, and enjoy a cup of tea in support of literacy on Friday, February 19th (or any other night that is convenient for you), and donate the money you would have spent to literacy.

Thank you to all who participated in Greenville Literacy's MLK Day Food Drive. GLA Learning Centers collected 7 boxes of food for the Foothills Family Resources Food Pantry and provided 14 boxes of food and 3 cases of water for United Ministries.
Together we can make a difference in our community.
GLA learning centers hosted Tutor In-Service events in November. Using the theme, "Common Challenges, Creative Answers", tutors of the ABE and ESL programs shared concerns and suggestions on how to best meet the needs of their students. They discovered that the two programs do indeed have common ground.
