Recognizing our Best ~
Central Awards Event
Open Doors Literacy Newsletter: Summer 2017
June 13,
2017, was Literacy Volunteers' Annual Awards Event,
where learners and tutors received recognition for their exemplary work and the
new Board of Directors was voted in. Following the theme of "What is Black
& White & READ All Over?" the room was appropriately decorated in
theme colors, including the dessert table, with a delicious array of black,
white, and red pastries and desserts. In the center of each table, books with
specially made black & white covers were arranged, each representing a
novel read by one of our learners or tutors.
Literacy
Specialist Diane Moseley led the evening by presenting awards to tutors and
learners who had shown special growth during the year. Top honors went to The
CONVERSATION CLASSES, led by Barbara Robertson and Lynn Bryant. While both
Barbara and Lynn give kudos to their learners, we commend the efforts of these
two who have given so much to their classes, which have become a vibrant hub of
activity and learning.
The
honorable Mayor of Huntington Beach, Barbara Delgleize, joined us for the
entire evening, offering to present the awards. We are grateful to our city's
#1 citizen for honoring Literacy Volunteers and recognizing the work that we
do. It was a thrill for all the winners to have their picture taken with
Barbara, making the night even more special.
