This time for Friends of GLAHW, we wanted to focus on the Dominican Literacy Center.
A little background on this great cause.
Dominican Literacy Center is a legacy institution of the Adrian Dominican Sisters.
We first opened our doors in August in 1989 with three staff members and five tutors. Within a month, the increase in students was so great that additional tutors/volunteers were quickly sought from the community at large.
Today, as an independent non-profit, we are a staff of 7 dedicated literacy champions and advocates, 200 dedicated volunteer tutors and register over 300 students annually. One-to-one tutoring and small group classes make our program unique and provide individualized attention that makes a positive difference in an adult’s educational experience.
To help support the DLC, we started making it a part of our Special Auction, where the lucky winner’s name will be featured in every story of the annual anthology, Recurring Nightmares. Be the hero, be the villain, die a horrible death (note: the fate is entirely in the hands of the GLAHW authors).
A portion of our sales for the Recurring Nightmares series goes to the Dominican Literacy Center.
