Fall Festival of Literacy will be held on November 14, 2019 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Troy.

The Fall Festival of Literacy is an evening of life-affirming true stories by our adult literacy students and tutors. Our students will share how improving their literacy skills (reading, writing, conversational English and/or math) has changed their lives. It is also an opportunity for the community to affirm our students for their accomplishments and on-going hard work they have given to improve their literacy skills.
