Committee reports were presented. Our Everyone Reads in Montgomery County event took place at the Crawfordsville District Public Library on March 18th with area elementary children enjoying door prizes, crafts, and refreshments. Everyone enjoyed how much the children loved choosing two books to take home. Some children couldn’t wait and started reading at the event! Our chapter members want to give a big thank you for the book donation to Penguin Random House! Soon, Pam Karle will be delivering goody bags to some area classrooms for the Easter Bunny.

Plans are being made for our Summer Speech Clinic for children during the month of June. Area school speech pathologists will be contacting parents with information in April and May.
