On Saturday September 25, 2011 the Oswego Literacy Coaliation is launching a free event to the public. One World, Many Stories will be held at the Oswego Armory from 11-4. Included in the day's interary is a bounce house for the kids, balloon animals, face painting, food, crafts, book give aways, the paws for reading program, Oswego Book Mobile, and an author's corner where you can meet some of your favorite authors. If you look close enough you will find me sitting among these talent writers.
I will be there sharing information on the From Caring To Sharing Project, which is a propsed anthology about living life with disabilities. The community is invited to share their short stories and poems on how a disability has affected their lives. Maybe there is a teacher who has a student that touched their heart. Perhaps a grandmother has as funny anctedote about their grandchild who has autism. Is there a parent out there that has a tear jerking story about their own child who has triumphed despite a disability? Everyone is welcomed to submit a piece of work. After all of the stories have been compiled together, I will be putting together a book proposal and sending it out to book publishers.
Young or young at heart, literacy is the foundation of our world. “The goal of The Literacy Coalition of Oswego County is to empower our community to build literacy in a collaborative, inclusive and comprehensive
manner,” said Philip R. Church, Oswego County Administrator and coalition chairperson. “The Coalition is dedicated to supporting and expanding literacy services so that people can work, the economy can grow, families can thrive, and our community can prosper.” says Joanne Ciezesk, chairperson from the Oswego Literacy Coalition.
