Three friends who love books.

MAYO — Members of the GFWC Mayo Woman’s Club read to children at the Mayo Learning Center for four consecutive Thursdays starting January 25.

On the last day of the program, the 17 children received a gift book. Each of the books had their name on a label compliments of the club.

Members who participated had as much fun as the children who heard the exciting tales of squirrels, cats, fairy tales and Disney movies. Reading is encouraged at a very young age and can predict success in later years at school and in all phases of life.
