Reading Between the Wines was presented on April 28, 2022. A video of the event is now available on our YouTube page here. If you would like to make a donation, please visit our website donation page here. Thank you for helping make Reading Between the Wines 2022 a success! We'll see you at September 29th's Growing Through Literacy!
Join us as we celebrate a year of "Learning Together" at our 12th Annual Reading Between the Wines!
Adult learners will reflect on this year's event theme of "Learning Together" and share inspiring stories about their dreams and goals, including becoming U.S. citizens, earning their GEDs or HSEDs, securing improved job opportunities, and supporting their children’s health and educational needs. Register to participate in the online auction and attend or stream the live event.
