The Palmetto Literacy Council (PLC) is going “mobile.”
For PLC, that means packing some supplies (including candy for the kids) and bringing to the community the opportunity to sign up your students for free tutoring in reading, writing, or math. If your students don’t need services, please consider becoming a volunteer. It only takes a two-hour weekly commitment (two one-hour sessions per week) to help raise the literacy rates in Horry County and possibly change your life – and the life of the child you are paired with. PLC is desperately seeking volunteers – there are several children on a waiting list.
PLC has named this effort, “The Palmetto Literacy Council Traveling Show.” This title is sung to the tune of that old Neil Diamond song, “Brother Love’s Travelling Show.” You can Google it if you’re unfamiliar with the song – it’s almost guaranteed to remain in your head. You might have to change a few syllables to replace Brother Love with PLC.
Humor aside, PLC’s goal is to reach as many people as possible. Thus far we’ve been to most Horry County Libraries. Plans are for the traveling show to visit various locations throughout Horry County. Please consider visiting. We’ll post upcoming visits on the PLC Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/palmettoliteracy
