In celebration of 50 years of service and with the awareness that their work is not complete, Literacy Services of Wisconsin will host a fundraising celebration you won't want to miss.
With help from celebrity emcee Steve "the Homer" True, play-by-play announcer for Marquette University's men's basketball team, the evening will shine a spotlight on Literacy Services' students, volunteer tutors and past donors who have helped thousands of people learn to read, gain functional literacy skills, and earn that key employment credential - a GED, while raising the critical funds needed to continue this work. Visit www.literacyservices.org for more information about the celebration.
