Mary Ann France has recently represented the Club at a couple of prizegiving events for the Reading Enrichment Programme run by the Rotary Club of Penrose. The Club were gifted a large number books by the stationary supplies company ACCO who helped out with last years Fun Run and were keen to dispose of some surplus stock to a good cause. Peter Vale saw the opportunity and Mary Ann knew the channels. 
Mary Ann reported: 
 
" Each award recipient received one of “Peters journals” together with a Dictionary from RC Newmarket -a special badge & books from Scholastic. Each student had to stand at the microphone-read a short speech of thanks to the Vols. tutors and sponsors. As one of the donors I presented about 6 students with their bundles of goodies. The students were excellent-spoke beautifully and all mentioned the confidence they had gained in reading and speaking." 
 
The Reading Enrichment Programme is a literacy mentoring initiative started by the Rotary Club of Penrose and is run through several local schools. For more information on the programme click here
