“Swish, Spin, and Stories – A Literacy Journey”

Altrusa International of Martinsville-Henry County, VA continues with its commitment to serving our community. Each month this quarter, various members have paired up and visited the Scrub Board Laundromat to offer a “story time” for young children while their parents laundry the family’s clothes. The Club is collecting and providing PK through fifth grade books at the Laundromat. At least thirty books are replaced each month, fulfilling our goal to promote literacy by encouraging children to take a book home for reading over and over. Collected books support the International Altrusa Literacy Challenge of 500 books for literacy.
