Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
Project: LEARN Fundraiser ~
Nicole will be joining the fun and fundraising at the annual Alphabet Affair to Benefit Project: LEARN, on Saturday, October 22, 2005, in the Cleveland Public Library, Louis Stokes Wing.
This gala event is presented each year by the Friends of Project: LEARN, who work to promote and support adult literacy through creative resource development and volunteer activities for the benefit of Project: LEARN, Cleveland’s largest organization for adult literacy.
This year’s Alphabet Affair stars the letter “L” with the theme “Luau at the Library.” Tickets are available to the public. Most partygoers will come in costume, whether for a “Luau” or as another “L” character, and you're invited to do the same! Visit Project: LEARN’s special events web page for details.
