Agency is thankful

To the Journal editor:

On behalf of the Literacy Legacy Fund of Michigan, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Range Bank for sponsoring and hosting the recent Banking on Literacy event.

This is the second year that Range Bank has supported Banking on Literacy, which helps to increase awareness of the literacy efforts of LLF Michigan and raise funds for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library — Marquette 49855.

Attendees purchased items from local artists and authors and bid on their donated works online. We truly appreciate Range Bank’s staff and the community members who came out on June 14th to support us through this evening event.

Proceeds from this fundraiser help LLF Michigan fund Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Marquette 49855 to support literacy improvement for young children in our community.

Through this program, each child under 5 years old who is registered with LLF Michigan receives an age-appropriate book in the mail monthly from The Dollywood Foundation.

Parents or guardians interesting in registering their young children under five years old may do so at any time. There is no charge to the family.

Locally there are currently 140 children registered for this program. LLF Michigan anticipates needing to raise approximately $10,000 annually as the program continues to grow.

Earlier this spring sponsors and donors contributed to our month-long Spring Forward, Support Literacy campaign.

We value your support also. Posters explaining this program and citing these contributors can be found in various locations in Marquette.

LLF Michigan is Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library affiliate in this area and relies on individual donors, business and organization sponsors, and fundraiser events to support this program. As always, we welcome continued community support.

If you would like to learn more about LLF Michigan and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library — Marquette 49855, please visit www.literacylegacyfund.org for more information.

Sincerely,

Nancy Wiseman Seminoff

President

Literacy Legacy Fund of Michigan
