Deban Brunette Literacy Program - St. David's School

We we thrilled to welcome Chelsea Calder, Manager, Education Programs to our meeting.

The Deban Brunette Literacy Program our Club started and continues to support at St. David's School in Stoney Creek is vital to the progress and assistance in helping young students to develop skills and the love of reading. Chelsea shared an overview of the program and more specifics around the school we support.

We presented her with our annual donation of $7,500.

it would be wonderful if some day we could add Lake Avenue School to this wonderful and effective program.

Chelsea and her husband were also great volunteers at our Peach Festival this past summer.
