Civic Clubs Support Literacy Program

The local chapters of the Rotary International and the Kiwanis International have made major contributions to the Literacy Council program in Jacksonville. Each club has presented large checks to buy student textbooks for GED classes and English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. Club members have also become volunteer workers as tutors and teachers. Representatives of both groups are elected members of the JLC Board of Directors. JLC Program Director Nancy Sonntag and Board President Sam Hopkins met with these civic minded groups to thank them for their support, and to report about the fine work that has been made possible because of their generosity and conscientious service to others.
