The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy would like to thank the volunteers that came out to raise awareness and funds for literacy programs in Rossland.

Thanks to Beverley Rintoul (Rossland Library director), Kathy Moore (city councillor), Jamie Santano (StrongStart program), Scout leaders Parry Lafond and Shanna Tanabe, Scouts Landon Lafond, Jesse Cochrane, Tatyanna Fontaine and Cub Scout Linden Fontaine and Monika Smutny (Rossland News).
