COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
2022-2024
Alpha Chapter of WV DKG is so excited this year to be raising money to contribute to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Our goal was to raise $500 for this year, but in our first meeting we were almost halfway there, we might need to up our goal. It only takes $25 to provide books for a child every month for a year. The books for this program are for children from birth to age 5. A donation of $500 will provide 20 children with books.
As a chapter this year we decided to donate to one worthy cause this year, that is focused on education, rather than donating to multiple causes. In years past we focus on multiple local organizations give monthly donations, which is a nice thing to do, but since we are an organization of educators and librarians it seemed logical to pick something to do with reading. I believe we all have a fondness for Dolly, how could you not, the fact that her Imagination Library provides books to children so that they can be read to from birth up to age five (5) is AMAZING. What a great gift for these families and children.
