AT&T presented the Taylor Reading Corps with a $5,000
donation Wednesday, January 8, to help the organization continue its efforts
recruiting, training and supervising adult reading mentors for pre- and
elementary school children in the Taylor School District.
Making the check presentation at the TRC office, 22755 Wick
Road, Taylor, was Greg Clark, AT&T Executive Director, External Affairs. He
told the group gathered for the occasion that he had gained a great amount of
respect for the TRC’s efforts and was proud that his organization could lend a
hand. The TRC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that runs on donations and
volunteers.
As of the end of 2013, the TRC was mentoring 367 students in
the Taylor schools, but still needs more volunteers. The next training schedule
for volunteers is January 21, with sessions planned at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. when
14 new volunteers are slated to participate.
In addition to Clark, on hand for the check presentation was
TRC Executive Director Lori Hill-Sanders and her staff; the TRC Board of
Directors; Taylor Mayor Rick Sollars; State Rep. Douglas Geiss; and Wayne
County Commissioner Ray Basham. Sollars is a member of the TRC board and Geiss
and Basham are supporters of the group’s efforts.
If you are interested in volunteering, the TRC is interested
in you. Mentors are asked to assist two students weekly for 30 minutes each,
between the hours of 8:15 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Any training, scheduling or
supplies are handled by the TRC.
