Wish List Description: Adult Literacy would be grateful to receive a new lap top computer with internet connection capability.

A computer program to assist beginning readers and ESL learners is $105.00. Holiday Volunteer Opportunities: Adult Literacy is dependent upon volunteers who are the teachers and tutors for the adults who enroll. Volunteers will need to complete an application and the Virginia State Police background check. There is a 15-hour orientation and training that includes online training. Supervision, materials and an individual student plan is provided as well as words of encouragement. For the the person who wants to volunteer and "teaching is not your thing," opportunities are available for fundraising, committee work and "office" assistance. Long term and short term availability is appreciated.
Other Gift Ideas:
Dedicated donations would be used to assist students who need an
educational evaluation. The book needed to begin the process is
$600.00. Educational evaluations will not only assist students
and teachers in the teaching/learning process but may help a
student qualify for accommodations when completing the GED
Tests. An educational evaluation may unlock the mystery of
learning for the adult. |

A lot have stopped working, this would allow our youth internet access to work on their homework and increase their computer skills. The Club could benefit from a PA/intercom system to be able to call through our 41,000 sq. ft. building, right now we have to use two way radios that aren't always reliable. The club would benefit from a video projector and blow up screen, thus allowing for movie nights. The Club would benefit from new digital cameras to allow us to begin a photography club. Volunteer Opportunities: Volunteers are always welcome year around. Other Gift
Ideas: The Club
would greatly benefit from New or fairly new 12-15 passenger
vans that could be used to transport more of the communities
youth to the Club. Currently their is a van that services two
out of the nine schools in the community that is privately owned
and operated. The vans would allow the Club more opportunities
to take youth on both educational and fun trips they may not
otherwise be able to attend. The Club has an operating expense
of approximately $300,000.00 a year and relies on grants and
donations to assist in covering these expenses. Memorial
donations are welcome and pending on the donated amount rooms
can be named in the honor someone. Dedication donation are
welcome and can be designated toward operation expenses,
membership sponsorship, building repairs, activity expenses,
