Tutor and Student Recognition Dinner

 

The June 5th Tutor and Student Recognition Dinner and Annual Meeting was a huge success. Our theme this year was "You are Champions," and featured 21 different nations, representing our student population. Everyone enjoyed a delicious international potluck feast.

 

Twenty-two tutors were recognized for having volunteered over 75 hours, and 26 ESL and Basic Reading students received over 50 hours of tutoring instruction. Five administrative volunteers also contributed over 30 hours this fiscal year.

 

During the event, Board Officers and Directors were elected for fiscal year 2008-2009.

 

We are proud of the accomplishments and commitment that our tutors and students have shown throughout the year.
