Episcopal women already planning Back to School Literacy Fair for August


From Central Gulf Coast-

The Episcopal Church Women (ECW) of St. Francis of Assisi Church in Gulf Breeze will sponsor a Back to School Literacy Fair on Wednesday, Aug. 4, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at church Parish Hall.

The event is being spearheaded by Dottie Kilpatrick, Vice President of ECW, and everyone in the south Santa Rosa and Pensacola Beach area is invited to come and bring the children. Many children are needed to make this event a success; the first 100 schoolage children will receive a bag of school supplies. There is no charge for this event.

“This is a unique event for the church women, and we feel it is St. Francis’ gift to the communities,” ECW President Sarah Lee Menzer said.

The group recognizes that there are many children who love to read and need no encouragement to pick up a book, but there are numerous others who for various reasons avoid reading whenever possible. They would like to foster a love of reading in all children.
