Playing games for a good cause

Learn to Read of Northwest Florida invites you to the 2013 Scrabble Soiree. This evening of exciting competition, good food, beverages, and guaranteed laughter is a great opportunity to support an amazing cause in a community which needs this service so badly.  

Learn to Read of Northwest Florida teaches adults the invaluable skill of reading to those who have not been fortunate enough to learn. Through free, one-on-one instruction, adults are taught basic reading and writing, English for speakers of other languages, and GED preparation skills.    

This event will include a unique way to play a traditional game, including bribing judges and making up words, all in a team setting. Be sure to bring your bribe money and join us for this great night of friendly competition!
