Kiwanis of Conway Bookcase Project continues

Fourteenth Annual Banquet scheduled to raise funds

Published September 1, 2023

Kiwanis of Conway will host its annual Bookcase Project fundraising banquet at 6 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 26 at Bob and Betty Courtway Middle School in Conway. The event will feature keynote speaker Jamie Ward. Ward is the owner of Curricula Concepts, Inc. and has more than 25 years experience in early care and education. 

 

Since the founding of the Conway Bookcase Project in 2005, more than 900 personalized bookcases and starter sets of books have been awarded annually to preschoolers enrolled in Conway Head Start. The goal of the Bookcase Project is to promote literacy at an early age, enhancing the potential of participating children to excel at all levels of education and in their chosen profession.

 

According to a research brief released by Amplify on February 16, 2022, the number of students nationally in grades K-5 at risk of not learning to read increased during the pandemic. “The purpose of our literacy initiative is to reverse this trend and reduce the percentage of students who need additional support in reading,” said Richard S. Plotkin, chair of the Bookcase Project.

 

Individual tickets are $25.00. A “Sponsor’s Table” of eight seats, for $250.00, includes sponsor benefits including premium seating location, recognition during the banquet and an opportunity to distribute promotional material to attendees.


The event include a BBQ buffet catered by Corky's and entertainment from Fat Soul Band.


Tickets can be ordered by e-mailing Plotkin at rsplotkin@conwaycorp.net.
