News GFWC-OK McAlester Fortnightly members are preparing to enter their Fall 2011 term as busy as ever. The Cornerstone Creations Department has sewn over 30 armbands to donate to Operation Smile. Many thanks to the 13 members of this department of McAlester Fortnightly. Children in Afghanistan benefitted from the Done in a Day Project during the SE District meeting last fall. School Supplies to fill 45 backpacks were donated by the 7 clubs in SE District. The Homemakers Department continues to collect Box Tops for Education and Campbell's Soups labels which will be donated to the William Gay Early Childhood Center. This Department holds a live auction bringing items themselves. Proceeds are donated to the local Battered Women's Shelter supporting the GFWC International project of Domestic Violence Awareness. The Ceramic & Crafts department will hold their Nov. fundraiser by providing brunch and numerous items for Silent Auction. Casual Gourmet members continue work on the walking trail at Mike Deak Field improving the landscaping for residents who walk each day for their health. |

Oklahoma Literacy Coalition has 29 programs on the Board of Directors among the 43 program members.
The McAlester Regional Literacy Council program has been serving the public since 1984 by providing one-to-one tutoring services for adults over the age of 18.
Hundreds of residents have had their lives enriched by learning to read and improving their reading and comprehension skills.
All Fortnightly Members are welcome to become a tutor. This is only a one hour per week commitment. Arrangements will be made when you are on vacation for another tutor to teach your student that week.
Contact the McAlester Public Library for details on how you can change a life one hour a week.
