Fort
GreeneVille Chapter DAR Storytime at the Gathering
Fort GreeneVille Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution is
inviting
school age children to a storytime at the Gathering at Garst on
Saturday,
July 25th.
At 1:00pm at the Burkett Encampment Tent, John Burkett will have a
storytime
based on Fort GreeneVille's hero, Josiah Hunt. The Burketts will be in
period dress in order to give a visual of the time period. Also Karen
Burkett will be telling the story of family heros from the book
"Customs and
Traditions" written by Bobbie Kalman & Tammy Evert. Afterwards
there will be
a drawing for a copy of the book to a child participating in the
storytime.
The book was donated by the Garst Gift Shop to the DAR chapter's
literacy
program.
Education is one of the cornerstones of the Daughters of the American
Revolution (DAR). Across the country, Daughters are meeting the
challenge of
educating the public by emphasizing the importance of being able to
read. By
supporting literacy, it enables self respect and confidence besides
reaching
life goals. Storytimes are a way of encouraging parents to instill a
love of
reading in their children.
