Editor:
I would like to send out the warmest Thank You to my SMART volunteers for giving to our elementary school students. Without you our program would not be as successful and would not impact so many students as it does. Thank you again for all you’ve done this past school year. I am looking forward to reading with you again this coming fall.
Thanks to: Ginger Allen, Becky Hurst, Eva Reynolds, Don and Peggy Austin, Trina Jones, Ethel Rose, Eleanor Benner, Loretta Kast, Ted and Patricia Sellers, Eva Benson, Sandra Knight, Rochelle Smith, Bernie and Colleen Brooks, Anna Larson, Virginia Strickler, Shirley Browning, Eunice Lawrence, Shannon White, Ruby Cast, Barbara Matthews, Doris Whitfield, Mildred Chavez, Debi Meyers, Wilma Whitmore, Harold Hanson, Nellie Morgan, Dorothy Wright, Mills Harriman, John Neely, John Hinman and Diann Rasmussen.
From the Web site http://www.getsmartoregon.org: “Since 1992, SMART has served 100,000 Oregon children, given away 1.4 million books, and coordinated 2.3 million volunteer hours. In 2006-07, SMART is serving 11,000 children in 32 of Oregon’s 36 counties. No other literacy organization in the state makes such an impact.” The site offers information about the program, ways the community can help and volunteer application forms.
