This is an Early Childhood Education District Grant. The Dominican Literacy Center in Aurora, Illinois helps women learn to read, write, and speak English, as well as helping immigrants become new U.S. Citizens. They are funded solely through private donations and The Dominican Sisters of Springfield, Ill.. Not only do they purchase children's books for their clients to take home but they have a lending library of children's books. As the name implies, literacy is what they are about. They tutor Spanish, Chinese and Korean women. $500 will enable them to purchase children's books in 3 languages. Our club has actively supported the Literacy Center for many years. While this will not have active member participation, we believe this to be a most worthy cause You could visit their website at Dominicanliteracycenter.org
