Good News and Bad news
Good News: we have received grants from
Dollar General,Winn Dixie,City of Ft. Pierce,
and Literacy Adult Volunteers in Florida.

Bad news: We have been awarded less this year from United Way. This is a great loss to our operating expenses. Many of the grants that we apply for have to be for a specific purpose, such as computer software, learning materials and. etc. The United Way Grant has always helped us with the routine operating expenses of the organization: rent, utilities, and etc. so with that in mnd, please try to see a way that you can help us.

Membership: Tutor $25 Teacher's Assistant $50
