Maxine Jones, Bettie Godwin, Joyce
Marlow and Ercell Godwin were
trained in a workshop led by Susan
Hggert and ending Aug. 21. They
are part of a group of volunteers that
wants to help both children and
adults in the Ash/Longwood area
improve their reading skills.
The basic workshop, now offered
at no charge, is required for volun
teers who want to tutor through the
literacy council. It introduces partic
ipants to the Laubach core series,
supplemental materials and tutoring
techniques that can be used in one
on-one and small group settings.
An estimated 5,(XX) to 6,500
adults in Brunswick County lack
many of the reading and writing
skills needed to cope with the de
mands of daily living.
To refer a student or to volunteer
to help, contact the Bruns. County

The event will give area volun

their United Way donations go and
see first hand how United Way sup
port helps people, while enabling
agencies to improve their facilities
in a cost-effective way.
After working from approximate
ly 8:30 a.m. until noon, the volun
teers will gather at Empie Park in
Wilmington for volunteer recogni

campaign results and kick off of
main 1993 United Way fund-raising

As of Monday volunteers were
still being recruited for several other
projects: lot cleaning and landscap

Services, the YWCA of Wilmington
and Stepping Stone Manor and/or
