Woman’s Club supports governor’s book club program

The Woman’s Club of Brick Township, at its October meeting, pledged to support Governor McGreevy’s Book Club Program.

In a letter to the New Jersey State Federation of Women’ Clubs, the governor stated, "Reading is the foundation of all learning." He acknowledged the commitment of federated women in promoting literacy and praised the dedication of the general federation for having raised and donated $13 million in books and materials to public libraries nationally.

In support of the Book Club Program, members of the local woman’s club have pledged reading time to the children of the Primary Learning Center. In Brick Township, all of the district kindergarten children attend the center before transferring to their local school for first grade. This enrichment program will be under the direction of the principal and the librarian, The Woman’s Club of Brick Township is proud of this civic undertaking.
