This is the ninth year that 50 children from the Two Rivers Head Start program will receive a handmade bookcase with a nameplate and a starter set of books in May. For some of these children these will be the first books in their home.
This is the seventh year that Mayfield has enthusiastically and generously participated in our area Bookcase Project. We will be collecting new and gently-used picture books in February.
Each year there is a Literacy Banquet held at DeKalb High School cafeteria. Proceeds from this dinner fund the materials for the bookcases built here in DeKalb County for the project.
The 2020 Literacy Banquet will be held on Thursday February 6 at 6:00 pm. Tickets are $20. It would be great if we could fill a table. Let Martha know by Friday, January 24 if you would like to attend.
