Family Literacy Day Celebration
Caroline Pennelli, Community Literacy Outreach Coordinator for the South Okanagan
Similkameen, highlighted plans for the first Family Literacy Day Celebration to be held
on Saturday, January 24, from 10:00am to 5:00pm at the Cherry Lane Mall in Penticton.
This is part of the work by the Community Literacy Committee that created the first
Community Literacy Plan entitled A Tapestry of Stories. Ms. Pennelli also distributed
copies of newsletters and brochures to groups in the community, and advised a
community directory is being developed listing all literacy opportunities in the area.
Trustees extended appreciation to Ms. Pennelli for her presentations and for the work
completed to date.
