The Eastern Shore Literacy Council announced it has received $2,000.00 from the United Way of
Virginia’s Eastern Shore Community Impact Fund to support marketing efforts in community outreach
and literacy awareness.

“We are very appreciative to the United Way for this generous support,” said Rose Rulon, Executive
Director of the Eastern Shore Literacy Council. “This funding will help us connect with more people in
the community and share the work we do. We plan to use the funds to develop promotional materials
to distribute at community events to increase our visibility in the community.”

The Eastern Shore Literacy Council is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Since 1986, with volunteer
tutors the Literacy Council has provided adults with the very lowest literacy levels one-on-one reading
and writing assistance through Adult Basic Education (ABE) and English As a Second Language (ESL). All
instruction and learning resources are provided at no cost to the adult learner.

The Eastern Shore Literacy Council is located on the campus of Eastern Shore Community College. For
