It's not too early to start putting
together a team and checking out
the competition for the second
adults-only spelling bee sponsored
by the Brunswick County Literacy
Council (BCLC).
This year's Bee lor Literacy will
be held Thursday, Sept. 12, in the
Brunswick Community College
Student Center, starting at 7:30 p.m.
"Remember last year? This year's
bee is going to be just as much fun
for the audience and for partici
pants," said Lila Milieu, a VISTA
volunteer working on the event.
Entry fees arc the same as last year, a
S200 tax-deductible donation to the
council per team. Ms. Milieu said
each two-person team can be spon
sored by a single business, agency or
civic organization, or several. Entries
arc due in the council Aug. 10.
Last year's champions, Gloria
Yount and Ann Sinclair of the
Brunswick County Schools, will re
turn to defend their title and support
the council's literacy work, she said.
The team won in an exciting,
sudden death finish, with the South
ern Bell team of Saundra Dron and
Doug Flynn placing second.
"It's going to be very competi
tive this year," said Ms. Milieu.
"We're challenging all those who
spelled last year to come back again
and try to wrest the championship
from Ann and Gloria."
Teams Forming To Enter Sept. 1 2 Literacy Bee
In all, 16 icams competed in
friendly fashion in last year's spell
off, with other sponsors contribut
ing funds but not entering spellers.
Ms. Milieu said the council is al
so working to make this year's bee
even more fun and competitive than
last year, with a warm-up round for
contestants and a "new, improved"
word list.
Last year's bee raised S2.800 for
the BCLC, a not-for-profit organiza
tion, and helped raise public aware
ness of the county's illiteracy prob
lem and council efforts to improve
adult basic skills.
The council hopes to sec similar
results this year, said Ms. Milieu.
Proceeds will support the council's
S 18,000 budget for 1991-92. The
budget covers a nominal salary for
the agcncy's coordinator, defrays
some mileage expense for three
VISTA volunteers assigned to the
council until April 1991, and pays
for materials and supplies for stu
dents and their Tutors.
BCLC trains ind places tutor/ad
vocates who woik with adults who
want to improve their basic reading
and writing skills; adults who are
learning English as their second lan
guage; and younger, school-age stu
dents with special needs. Services
and materials arc provided at no
charge.
This past year the council also
began a reading-related program at
