Help us raise awareness of Project Literacy,
and have fun at the same time!
Project Literacy Kelowna Society will be participating in various aspects of the Kelowna Centennial celebrations taking place on May 5th, 7th, and 8th. Activities might include parade marshalling, ticket taking, or helping out at the Family Picnic or other events.
We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to become involved.
If you are interested in joining in the fun, and supporting Project Literacy at the same time, please call the office at 762-2163, and someone from the Centennial Committee will get in touch with you.
A PLEA!!!
Over 30 of our valuable library
books are M.I.A. right now!
Please, if you have more than 3
library books at home or if you
have had any out for more than
2 months, return them so that
others can use them!! Also remember that
when you return books, ensure that the staff
you give them to knows who they belong to.
(i.e.: if you leave them on someone’s desk, leave
a note with your name).
Thank you!!

I am pleased to write my first article for The Reader. My first three months with PLKS were hectic, to say the least. During this short period of time, we have had an Annual General Meeting, a board meeting, an open house and contract negotiations. The upcoming year promises to be another busy year as we are now planning for the next board meeting, tutor training sessions and a volunteer appreciation event.
I am continually amazed at the impact this organization has on the members of our community. Helping community members with literacy issues to achieve their goals and to then move on to new and exciting life adventures makes this organization special. All of this is made possible through the dedicated work of our volunteer tutors, volunteer Board of Directors and staff. A sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed so much! I have truly enjoyed becoming part of this organization!
