SUNACRW Recognized for Its Participation with the Barbara Bush Literacy Program

2015 Literacy Certificate

In 2002, the NFRW Literacy Committee launched NFRW Literacy Month. Each September, local clubs have the opportunity to share their community literacy projects and ideas with other councils.  SUNACRW has been recognized for its continued activities to promote literacy within the tri-county area.  SUNACRW continues to add to a pre-school library for at-risk children within a local community organization providing services to women and their young children.  Over the years SUNACRW members have contributed dozens of books to this effort, acted as adult literacy tutors and promotes reading as a road to success.

We believe as Barbara Bush, ““The American Dream is about equal opportunity for everyone who works hard. If we don’t give everyone the ability to read and write, then we aren’t giving everyone an equal chance to succeed.”

Quote of the Day

“Governor Wolf is offering bad medicine to the people of Pennsylvania with his Medicaid expansion proposal.  All Pennsylvanians deserve access to quality care and Medicaid expansion does not offer that.  Medicaid is not insurance and instead offers poor quality care to those who need care the most.  We hope Governor Wolf will work with the legislature, not around them, to propose healthcare solutions that will work for the people of our Commonwealth.”

AFP-PA State Director Beth Anne Mumford

(Emphasis ours.  Just because a patient has a card to present to a provider does NOT make her coverage insurance.  Her healthcare and that of her dependent children would be better understood if we acknowledged that basic fact.)
