Updates From Our November Meeting: Telling Tales Supports Literacy and the Love of Reading

Susan Jasper, Telling Tales Festival Chair & Founder, was the guest speaker at CFUW-Hamilton’s November 17, 2015, meeting. There was considerable excitement and enthusiasm from the audience about Hamilton’s own free, one-day, family-friendly, outdoor festival (annually in September) and the association’s year-round commitment to promoting literacy and inspiring a love of reading. See the wonderful photo gallery of children, families, authors, and musicians at http://www.tellingtales.org/photo-gallery-2/

Part of Telling Tales commitment involves donating back to local literacy organizations. This week, Telling Tales donated $12,000 to three worthy recipients. See the full announcement at the following website: http://www.tellingtales.org/supporting-literacy-a-love-of-reading/       Be sure to look for CFUW-Hamilton member, Rosemary Knechtel, who was on hand to present one of the cheques.
