A Doggone Good Time

The Anniversary celebration for R.E.A.D. brought together 4 groups 0f dogs and their handlers, and nearly forty readers plus their parents.  The two hour event on Saturday, September 14th was a success.  The Howard Lake Community Room was abuzz with the sound of young voices taking turns reading to Penny, Sara, Jack & Keira.
