Literacy Awards: Student Essays and a Celebration of Anniversaries and Accomplishments will be on Thursday, September 25 at 7:00 P.M. at City Hall, River Street. English as a second language students will have an opportunity to read their stories. For some it will be the first time reading English in public.

We will also be honoring Gail Haas and Martha Salmon with our volunteer award. Read more…
