 Past Events

 
Ride A Wave to Reading with Literacy Pros & Regal Cinemas (Surfs Up Premiere Weekend)::::::
 
Literacy Pros of Jacksonville is dedicated to promoting the cause of adult literacy in our community.  We also want to encourage reading aloud to children; help adults learn how to read with their kids; and emphasize the importance of reading with, to and in front of children.  This event will give us the opportunity to reach out to the community and educate a new audience about the problem of adult literacy.  By tying in to the "Surfs Up" phenomenon, which is something parents will experience with their children, we have a unique chance to participate in a fun and educational event to further the cause of making life long readers in our community.  Come out and enjoy the fun at Regal Cinemas - Avenues 20, located at 9525 S. Phillips Highway, Jacksonville, FL 32256 On  Saturday, June 9th,  2007 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
