| | | | | | Assistance League of Diablo Valley Grants Committee Chair Susan Angle recently accepted a $1,000 check from Westamerica Bank Assistance Vice President/Financial Sales Officer Theresa Fortier to benefit the R.E.A.D. program, which stands for Read, Enrich, Achieve, and Discover. The program has helped member volunteers instill the love of reading in elementary school children since 2003 and, in later years, has donated books to their respective classrooms and school libraries. Assistance League of Diablo Valley is a nonprofit, member volunteer organization dedicated to improving lives in the community through hands-on programs. R.E.A.D. is one of Assistant League of Diablo Valley's eight philanthropic programs. All of the books donated in 2012-13 boast a sticker that states, "I LOVE TO READ!" -- a statement that sometimes begins the monthly sessions. For more information about the organization, please visit diablovalley.assistanceleague.org.
