 Fourteenth Annual Fall Tea Party for Love of Literacy 
Community residents will receive a bag of tea in the mail along with a description of our organization and a request to donate money to support our cause. This is a great way to participate in a community activity without stepping out of your own home! Kick back in your favorite chair at home, drink a cup of tea, enjoy a good book, and think about the 20% of residents in our county who are functionally illiterate. Then donate money to us by mailing back the donor card or donating the money through a credit card via our website. If you do not have an invitation please call or email us and we will send you an invitation!
