WE WANT YOUR HELP!
Did you know… When students are not reading at grade level by 3rd grade, they are four times more likely not to graduate on time or at all. Help an elementary school student become a stronger reader and boost their confidence. About one hour a week is all it takes to change the life of a child. The experience will enrich your life too.
We are in great need of volunteers in Lewis County. If you can commit one hour per week for the duration of the school year, we want to invite you to join us at our next Reading Buddy volunteer orientation on November 9.
RSVP on our website to attend. We hope to see you there!

The presentation will take attendees through a history of the Gilkey Brother’s Towing Co., the Bahada’s history including its first sinking in Los Angeles in 1923, the crew, their family, subsequent search, raising attempt and what’s happening now.
