"To me, First R is the perfect program - it is direct, simple to participate in, and a wonderful way to show our kids in the community that we care about them. I am honored to have been a part of it since the early days and look forward to reading in the future as it is such a fun, joy activity! Pat Earle’s creative idea and her ability to make it happen, is a model of community activism.”
