Director Diann Muhlbach said, "When someone's having difficulty reading or understanding and they learn to read, it's like a feeling you can't describe. You're so elated they're able to read and weren't able to before. You find they get a better job because they could read and speak English."

The Literacy Council of Grand Island is a not-for-profit, public organization supported by the generous gifts received through private donations and grants from various organization.

The focus of this fundraising banquet is to salute their volunteers, who donated thousands of hours each year engaging in one-on-one tutoring with hundreds of children and adult students to help them learn to read and write.
