College of Education and Human Development sponsors Literacy Tea fundraiser
The University of Maine College of Education and Human Development is again sponsoring Literacy Volunteers of Bangor’s Literacy Tea fundraiser. The idea for the event came from Susan Bennett-Armistead, an associate professor of literacy at UMaine, whose mother-in-law held literacy teas in Michigan. Bennett-Armistead organized the first literacy tea in Bangor when she served on the board of directors for Literacy Volunteers, which provides free English language tutoring to about 300 adults. This year’s Literacy Tea will be held at John Bapst Memorial High School from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, April 2. More information is available on the Literacy Volunteers of Bangor website. A full news release also is online.
